Penelope New Mexico

Penelope isn't just any cat - she's a rare orange female, around 4 years old, with a quiet strength and a lifetime of stories behind her golden eyes.<br/><br/>Originally a stray from New Mexico, Penelope spent her early years outdoors, raising multiple litters of kittens and surviving in dangerous coyote territory. Because of those harsh conditions, she wasn't a good candidate for TNR (trap-neuter-return). She needed a chance at a safer, more peaceful life.<br/><br/>Now in our care, Penelope is slowly adjusting to the unfamiliar world of shelter and indoor living. She spends much of her time tucked away in cubbies, curiously watching the activity around her, taking it all in at her own pace. She's friendly in spirit, but still cautious, not quite sure what to make of this new, quieter life.<br/><br/>But we truly believe that with just a little time, patience, and love, Penelope will really blossom. The trust is already there in her eyes, she just needs the right person to help her feel safe enough to show her full heart. <br/><br/>She's not a lap cat (yet), but she's a calm, gentle soul who would thrive in a quiet home with someone who understands the beauty of slow beginnings and lasting bonds. When things are quiet, she will come out of her cubby for gentle head and cheek pets!<br/><br/>Give Penelope the chance to open up and become the beloved companion she was always meant to be. Her new chapter is just beginning; will you be a part of it?
