Lois's Story

Meet Lois! <br/><br/>While some kittens are loud and boisterous, Lois is a master of the "quiet life." She is a delicate, soulful girl who prefers to observe the world from a cozy corner before deciding it's safe to join the fun. If you have a soft spot for the underdog (or under-cat!) and a patient heart, Lois is waiting to meet you.<br/><br/>Lois may be shy at first, but don't let that fool you-she has a world of love tucked away. She isn't the type to jump into a stranger's arms; it takes a little bit to make it into her heart. Once she knows she can trust you, her true personality emerges: a sweet, steady companion who finds comfort in the presence of her people.<br/> - The Power of "Soft Play": Lois isn't a fan of loud noises or chaotic games. She prefers "quiet play"-batting at a soft plush mouse or watching a feather wand with focused, curious eyes.<br/> - Kitten Friendships: Interestingly, Lois finds a lot of her confidence through other cats! She loves to snuggle with her fellow kittens, using them as a "bravery boost" when she's feeling unsure.<br/> - The Reward of Trust: There is nothing quite like the feeling of a shy kitten choosing you. When Lois finally decides to climb into your lap or purr at your touch, you'll know you've earned something truly special.<br/><br/>To help Lois become the best version of herself, she's looking for a specific kind of family that offers:<br/><br/>1. A Patient Environment: A quiet home without too much hustle and bustle would be her sanctuary.<br/>2. The "Slow Approach": Adopters who understand that friendship takes time will find Lois to be a loyal, loving friend for life.<br/>3. A Feline Guide: Because she loves other kittens so much, Lois would do wonderfully in a home with another confident cat to show her the ropes and give her someone to snuggle with.<br/><br/>Staff Note: "Watching Lois come out of her shell is the highlight of our day. She's a gentle soul who just needs a little extra time and a lot of love to show the world how bright she can shine."<br/><br/>Lois is spayed, up-to-date on her FVRCP and Rabies vaccines and is FIV and FeLV negative.<br/><br/>Lois currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4pm-7pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, Saturday Noon-6pm and Sunday Noon-6pm. Feel free to stop by to meet her! No appointment necessary.
