In the shelter’s words

DOB 12/3/19 Hey there, everyone! I'm Penelope, a beautiful, sweet, fluffy medium-haired girl with bright green eyes, a little mirth in my expression, and just enough sass to make sure you know I’m not just another ordinary beauty. I’m laid-back and independent, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love affection — or that I lack a purrsonality! I don’t necessarily need to be the center of attention. I’m perfectly happy doing my own thing and observing the world around me. But when you’re fabulously fluffy, attention tends to find its way to you anyway. I have quite a few opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them. I’ll let you know where you stand with me — sometimes vocally, sometimes by flopping over in all my fluffy glory, hoping to sucker you into giving me just a few more pets, please. I don’t mind being picked up and cuddled, either. When I’m in your arms, I’ll put my fluffy mitts on you and hold on for a hug. I’m named after Penelope from The Odyssey — the woman who waited for Odysseus to come home to Ithaca after being away on his agonizingly long journey. And I understand waiting. I understand journeys. I was rescued near a bus stop — where journeys begin and end. I survived outdoors, despite having once known the comforts of being loved indoors. Now, I’m waiting for the part of my story where I finally get to go home. HOPE ID 26-0714-S015 Penelope’s $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.
