Papaya's Story

A gentle soul searching for love. She’s a tall and graceful torbie, almost 2 years old, with the kind of beauty that quietly takes your breath away. But it’s her heart that will truly capture yours. She was rescued after likely being left behind — a cat who once knew the warmth of a home, now longing for that feeling again. She still believes in love. You’ll find her softly following you from room to room, quietly hoping to be seen, to belong again. She enjoys love and will show it by caressing your knees. She's attached to her bed; it's a place that she has found comfort and feels safe again. She’s playful, especially during her joyful zoomies, but what she truly wants is someone to trust —someone to follow —someone to love. She is spayed, vaccinated, FELV/FIV tested, and dewormed — ready to begin her next chapter. Maybe that chapter begins with you. This is a courtesy post for someone we know. If you're interested in Papaya, email us at info@gratefulpawsnj.com
