Poppy

Just like the flower she's named after, Poppy is a little girl who simply needs the right environment, a little patience, and plenty of love to bloom.<br/><br/>Poppy is an incredibly sweet kitten with a gentle, playful personality. She's naturally on the shy side, and while some kittens charge into new situations without a second thought, Poppy prefers to take her time and make sure everything is safe before joining the fun.<br/><br/>But every single day, she's getting a little braver. Her foster mom calls her, Birdie, because she looked like a scared baby bird when she first arrived.<br/><br/>Her foster has watched her confidence slowly grow as she learns that the world isn't such a scary place after all. She's discovering how much fun being a kitten can be, and it's been so rewarding to watch her sweet personality begin to shine.<br/><br/>Poppy loves to play, but she would really benefit from having a friendly feline companion who can show her the ropes. Another playful, confident kitty could help encourage her to explore, try new things, and discover her adventurous side. Sometimes all a shy little kitten needs is a friend to show her that it's okay to be brave.<br/><br/>She's currently living in a foster home with dogs and is gradually becoming more comfortable around them, too. With patience and gentle introductions, she's learning that her canine roommates aren't quite as intimidating as she originally thought.<br/><br/>Poppy's ideal forever home will be quiet, calm, and filled with people who understand that trust takes time. She doesn't need someone to rush her or expect her to become an outgoing kitten overnight. She needs a family willing to celebrate the little victories, whether that's exploring a new room, joining in on playtime, or simply feeling brave enough to come a little closer.<br/><br/>Poppy may not be the first kitten to run up and demand your attention, but there's something incredibly special about watching a shy little soul learn to trust.<br/><br/>With a patient family, a playful feline friend, and a whole lot of love, we know Poppy has everything she needs to blossom into the wonderful little cat she's meant to be.<br/><br/>Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.<br/>Please note: We are unable to adopt to residents of Massachusetts at this time.<br/><br/>To apply, complete our official adoption application at yourlocalfurmama.com/adoption-application.<br/><br/>Petfinder inquiries are not considered applications.
