ALICE

HISTORY: Alice was surrendered from a large unmanaged cat colony with ~100 cats.

Like many of the cats that come into the sanctuary from the colony, Alice was very frightened and hiding in her condo when she arrived. In her prior life at the colony, Alice’s social interactions with people were limited and as a result she didn’t learn to trust people and to accept affection. In the short amount of time she has been here, Alice has begun to show interest in people by slowly leaning in to sniff and investigate the familiar faces she sees. This makes us very hopeful that, in time, Alice will accept more interactions with humans.

Take a look at her now! Alice has made wonderful progress in the last few months. She is incredibly eager to receive attention and pets from our staff and volunteers. Alice is even beginning to sit on volunteers laps for extra attention! She gets along well with the other cats in her room, though at this moment she is not seeking out attention from them. For the most part you can find her relaxing in one of the many cat beds in her area. She hasn’t shown interest in cat toys, at least not while people are around.

More about me August 2024: Surprise. Surprise. Surprise. Howdy folks. It’s me ALICE. Folks are beyond super pleased at how far I have come as a shy, unsocialized girl from the local cat colony. I was a bit flat and not looking for much love and TLC when I arrived, but just look at me today!! Folks are flabbergasted that I now hold the coveted title of “Main Greeter” in my cat room. If I might say so myself, I am super proud of how far I have come since my arrival. Typically, you can find me perched on the tall cat tree as you enter my room. While I might be snoozing when you come in, I’ll happily wipe the sleep out of my eyes, stand up tall and straight and encourage you to please come and love on me. I’m gentle and sweet and soft in my ways. I’ll give you plenty of nudges of encouragement as you stroke, love on me and whisper soft nothings into my ear. I’ve done well in ingratiating myself with the other felines in my room and I skillfully and happily work this crowd of kitties. The staff will tell you that I keep a super close eye on them as they work their cleaning magic in my room. What this really means is that I will literally follow them around including in and out of the cat patio door and as they simply move around the room. Guess you could call me their shadow. Life is good for me now and I can’t wait to interview for and seal my first ever full time pet position. Do I sound like your type? Are you looking for love? Do you desire to hear the tiny pitty pat of feet tracking and following your every move in your home? If so, I’d recommend that we meet and let’s plan on making a love match! Thanks for tuning into marvelous me, Alice!
