CROISSANT

Sometimes when I bestow a moniker a cat, I don’t realize at first just how appropriate that is going to end up being – I am just having fun with my choices and always striving to be unique yet fitting. Take 4-year-old Croissant (born in the summer of 2021), for example: I named after this delish pastry as she was round and adorable puffy in the middle, appealing to the eye with her shimmering presentation, and sweeter than her rescuer could have asked for. Luckily Ann took her off the Wyoming streets in June of 2025 and housed her for a few weeks until we could help her out with intake. However, we soon discovered that she taps into her tough girl persona to protect herself from situations that cause her anxiety, shelter living unfortunately being one of them.<br/>As our shelter manager put it: <br/>“I wish I knew her whole life story. She is slowly allowing us to pick her up, but when she's had enough, she will let you know with a quick swat. She has such soft bunny fur and doesn't mind it being brushed - on her terms. I have a feeling life wasn't so easy for our poor girl and she's just watching out for herself. She really can be sweet at times, just tends to get overwhelmed. She would be the perfect gal for someone who is home often and can offer her a quiet environment. Please no kids or dogs - they absolutely would be too much for her.”<br/>Another observation:<br/>“Croissant would probably prefer to be an only child or perhaps share a decent amount of space with a polite roommate. Not sure if she'd be a lap cat, as others keep getting in the way and she hisses and runs off. She has cuddled up next to me however, so I feel she's a solid couch buddy. Similar in 'tude to another dilute diva of days gone by, Medley – and look how she has blossomed in a home of her own! I agree that she does get overstimulated during pets and lashes out, but I think it's tied to her roommates not giving her a wide berth and cramping her style. She becomes more comfortable and friendly when others are more than 5ft away from her, and she can have my undivided attention”.<br/>Bottom line is that Croissant is soft on the interior and crunchy on the exterior (at times), but honestly, we feel she is a product of her circumstances, both past and present, of which she has no control. We’d love to give our girl a chance to thrive in a home of her very own, where she calls the shots and shows her humans what a sweet treat she truly is!<br/><br/>Croissant is part of our Forever-Foster-A-Feleuk-Kitty, so please inquire as to what that is all about!
