Female
Orange Tabby; White around mouth and neck area.
HISTORY: Cera was trapped with her sibling Hermione (adopted!) in a local colony of cats and together sought refuge here at CFC.
The key to my heart right now is having a cat or other cats to help me be at my best. When I see staff members or longer term volunteers coming my way, I will happily hop down off my condo perch and glide towards them to welcome them into my space. I am a sweet, gentle natured lady but losing out on some key early on socialization as a baby has left me a bit shy and uncertain around strangers. Once I know you, you’ll see I have a playful, fun side to me that will quickly have you coming back for a second helping of wonderful me! If you have time and patience and an extra cat or two, I’d love for you to consider me. Even if you don’t have other felines, I’d be happy to hook you up with my super best friend Fred (he’s next to me in some of the pictures) and in no time, we would all be best of friends.
Winter Update 2025: We all fulfill a special need either physically or emotionally for someone and that someone is my girlfriend Casey. She and I are pretty much inseparable. I’m the one she literally leans against for physical support but I also think she likes my body heat. We don’t exchange many words, but it’s clear we both mutually love and respect the other. Just the other day, Toothless (a newer kitty in the room) thought she could ever so suavely stroll on over and join our click. With our ears a tad flat and expressing other negative body energy, we made it clear we did not have any “friend” openings for her. All’s well that ends well, as she just went home so maybe it’s ok anyway. That’s not to say I’m not wishing to go home, but I am content where I am, I’m healthy and want for nothing. So…is it greener on the other side? IDK. No doubt, I’m grateful I can lead my carefree and stress free life.
Update Fall 2024: It’s OK to pet me and at first glance you might think I’m tolerating your attention and affection, but at least one volunteer, Scott will tell you that I secretly enjoy being the apple of a human eye. Very much a creature of habit, I spend most of my days in snuggle, cuddle mode with my bestie friend Casey. She, like me, is an introvert so we’re pretty content enjoying each other’s company on the top of a condo while keeping a close eye on all the activity on the ground floor of our room. Fluffy girl Belinda is another feline friend who might join in my social circle and I’m grateful for her companionship as well. I’m healthy and happy and want for nothing. CERA
Update Spring 2024: My good volunteer friend Scott calls me the Queen of Snooze. I’m thinking it’s because whenever he sees me, I’m napping. Most likely I am curled up with my bestie Casey. She and I are pretty tight and it’s a rare moment that you won’t find us in spoon and or cuddle mode. I’m a quiet, polite lady and Scott always takes the time to make sure I get my allotment of body pets from his kind, gentle hands. Casey can be a bit pushy as she wants all the attention and I will acquiesce (I don’t want any trouble) but still, Scott keeps an eye out for me and makes sure I get the love I need. With no emerging health issues, I am on target to enjoy the warmer months and having Casey right by my side, makes it all the more pleasant. CERA
