KADIE

HISTORY: Kadie was a stray in Palmyra.

Kadie is admittedly pretty standoffish to most people. Don’t be surprised if she hisses when you first meet. After some patience and time, however, the hisses turn to meows and she is excited to see you. She enjoys being pet, particularly while up on top of the cat condos. She’s still pretty wary of humans in general but with the right amount of care and attention her sweet personality will surely shine through.

Mini Volunteer Update May 2022: She is becoming so much braver!!!!!!! Once she knows & trusts you, she will timidly come over for greetings. She enjoys slow pettings in the head area – just for the sake of being near you. She is NOT looking for treats because she doesn’t eat the Temptations…….she just wants quiet attention. She will retreat once the other kitties gather, preferring to be alone up above at that point. Periodically however, I spot her hanging out in one of the wooden houses with another shy kitty, Cassanova.

Update December 2023: Our pretty buff lady knows how to manipulate the humans but it’s all good as we are here after all to help her be her best pet self!   Right? To that end,  Katie is more typically relaxing and reclining on top of a kitty condo.  More recently she might even share that space with her friend Kit.  She’s open to some soft body pets and rubs, but guess what?  You need to climb up on the ladder to deliver them directly to her place of comfort.  Be slow and steady and deliberate and she’ll enjoy your momentary encounter.   Watch out though for some of her sensitive areas as a swift swat will come your way.  LOL
