Penelope's Story

How this pet arrived: Penelope was brought in by a community member on March 27, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Penelope! Penelope was found outside a Cheesecake Factory, so naturally she's ready to trade her window-shopping days for the full luxury package: entertainment, cozy lounging spots, and top-tier service. This playful, sassy girl is full of personality and would love a home that appreciates her charm and keeps her life fun and enriching. Like any true Cheesecake Factory queen, Penelope enjoys attention in small, satisfying portions. She does best with a "pet, pet, pause" approach, as she can get a little overstimulated and likes the chance to decide when she's ready for more. She's also shown that certain handling and restraint are definitely not on her approved menu, so her future adopter should work with their veterinarian on a plan to keep her comfortable during care. Crate training could also help this cheesecake connoisseur travel with a little more confidence. At SDHS:Penelope has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home!<br/>Overstimulated Cat:&nbsp; This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Black Tortoiseshell Secondary Color: White Weight: 9.98lbs Age: 2yrs 11mths 2wks Animal has been Spayed
