Pet of the Week
Pet of the Week
Pet of the Week: Poppy
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Age: 8 years old
Sex: Female, Spayed
Size: Medium
Personality: Curious, Outgoing, Chatty
Poppy is a sweet, observant cat who loves to sit by the window and watch the world go by. Sometimes she’ll curl up in your lap, and other times she prefers her own cozy space. She enjoys affection, but always on her own terms, and she’ll let you know when she’s had enough. Poppy can be quite protective of her belongings and doesn’t appreciate anyone messing with them.
Because of this, she would thrive as the only animal in the home and is not a good fit for families with small children. She’s looking for an experienced cat owner who understands her boundaries and doesn’t expect her to be a constant lap cat. With the right person, Poppy will be a wonderful, loyal companion. Visit our website at northumberlandhs.com, or give us a call 905-885-4131 for more information.
