CHURCH Domestic Short Hair & Tabby Mix Panora, IA

AGE: 1 year

DESCRIPTION: DSH - Chocolate Tabby

LOCATION: PETS Shelter (114 W Main Street) - Panora, IA

MY STORY:
One of our adopters is the caretaker of a feral cat feeding station in her hometown and this little guy started showing up there recently and each day he returned without a mother or any other kittens his age. The caretaker could see he was quite scared but wanted so badly to trust her. After a few days she built up enough trust and was able to get him in a carrier which started him on his journey to a new life.

Given the name Church, he was very healthy and settled in to his new foster home. For the first couple of days he wanted to be friends with the other kittens but wasn't quite sure how to go about it. He would try and engage them in play but would then turn around and growl and hiss when they played back. He has it all figured out now and is now great buddies with all the other kitties. He loves all kinds of toys, especially the circular ones with the balls inside. Church was super sweet to his foster parents and likes to rub his face on his foster dad's beard and to stick his nose in his foster's mom's ear while he purrs. He has such a big robust purr he is known as Sir Purrs-A-Lot. He loves to be held and petted and should do well in any kind of home and family. He loves to run around everywhere in the shelter and his favorite is to go skidding down the long hallway chasing springs and playing on a colorful felt mat. Church sports a snazzy little dark chocolate tabby coat and finally grew into the ginormous ears he sported as a small kitten. LOL
