TATUM

HISTORY:  Tatum was trapped in a local colony of cats.

Since her arrival, Tatum has made many friends both human and feline! She typically hangs out with fellow L2 residents Kit and Bandit and enjoys visits from staff and volunteers. Tatum is still a bit more of a low-energy cat and prefers to spend most of her time napping. If you want to pet her while she relaxes, even better! She will purr the whole time. Tatum doesn’t really like to be picked up but other than that she enjoys human interaction and contact. She is a sweet, laid-back cat who will likely take some time to come out of her shell once introduced to her forever home. We promise you that she’s worth the wait!

Fall 2024 Update: I am a “champion sleeper” according to my regular human volunteer and friend Scott. He will tell the other humans that my routine might look like…eat…litter box…sleep….repeat! You see, he perhaps has never, ever seen me out and about and walking around as I’m typically in some snuggly nook or cranny curled up in a ball napping! Even while in nap more, Scott is not hesitant about coming over to give me a few kind strokes to acknowledge me and let me know he cares about me. For this I am grateful. TATUM

Spring 2024 Update: I’m happy, content and at peace.  My days are all pretty similar and a tad uneventful,  but it’s enough for me.  I’m a master snoozer and an extraordinary lounge lizard-ess.  Relaxing outside on the catio in a cat tree,  in the funky little wooden house or on a ledge culled up in a cat bed simply suits my style.  I’m super quiet, gracious and never in anyone’s face.  At times,  I hear the staff jesting that perhaps I don’t really have legs as I am rarely if ever seen up and about and walking around.   The nice folks here will always take the time to give me some reassuring strokes and pets of affection- none of which I ask for nor am I bothered by- so I know I am on their radar and they are keeping a close eye on me to make sure I’m fine.   With no emerging health issues,  I am on target to enjoy the warm temps and pretty views from my outside catio perch.   TATUM.
