SUZIE Q

HISTORY: Suzie Q was found in an abandoned barn with her three kittens.

Take a look at those extraordinary eyes! Suzie Q, a long time CFC resident is extremely shy. “She is a quiet lady who spends most of her day with her gal pal Cornelia. Suzie Q isn’t one to socialize with either people or any cat who isn’t Cornelia. Although, there has been the rare occasion of our two old biddies making room for another cat in their cozy cat bed, just as long as the “3rd wheel” follows their color scheme.” is how CFC volunteer, Scott, describes Suzie Q!

With the assistance of staff and volunteers, who have been slowly and gently working towards her socialization, we have found that if she is approached slowly and offered some of her preferred treats, she may permit you to give her a soft pet or two.

We feel Suzie Q would thrive in a quiet home along with another cat with a very similar personality and an extremely cat savvy person, willing to give her time and space to adjust to a new environment.

Winter Update 2025: It was ALL the talk. I briefly left my bestie friend Cornelia and hung out on top of a condo with Tori, Rachel and Poppy. Oh, the scandal. And then I left her again to simply chill in a bed on the shelf by myself. Everyone was chatting as Cornelia and I are basically tied together at the hip. All is well once again as I’m back in my blue box full time with Cornelia by my side. Was it a spring fling in the winter? I’ll not say but it’s back to status quo. On another note, we’ve recently welcomed shy girl Sweetart to our highly sought after blue abode, but that only lasted a day or so. It’s never a dull day here in room R1 and I so appreciate your tuning in! SUZIE Q

Fall 2024 Update: You may have heard our quarters are getting a bit cramped and or you could look at it as if our popularity has soared! As you know, it’s a super rare moment that I’m not in a bin curled up and cuddling with my bestie Cornelia. We’re pretty much inseparable…well, me from her, mostly! In any event, our good human friend Volunteer Scott, recently caught the 2 of us with kitties Sweet Tart and also Pancake smooshed into our already cramped quarters. Crazy, I say! Yep. So there we all were ….the 4 of us all….pretty much equally as shy of the humans as the other, mushed together. Scott is a smart cookie though and while he was tempted to come and perhaps touch us all at once, he knew better. He knew to enjoy us from a far so the moment would not be broken and forever lost. Having more feline friends is no doubt good for my heart and my health. SUZIE Q
