Meet Ebony

Miss Ebony Spitfire is a chatty house panther who is looking for a forever home where she can rule benevolently. This almost 2-year-old kitty with amber eyes knows she is a quality cat and does not want to compromise. She is looking forward to being the only cat in the home and telling her human what to do on a daily basis. She loves to play with string and wand toys, has happy kneading paws as she purrs, and likes to nap in a lap or close to a person. Ebony came from an outdoor cat colony that had grown to 40+ cats. We started helping care for these cats back in August, when we learned the person living in the home was in the hospital and many of the cats needed food and veterinary care. We slowly built trust with them and began to place some in to foster homes. Ebony had a litter of kittens in August and was motivated to befriend us to enjoy the calorie-rich food and snacks we provided. Once her kittens were placed in foster homes in September, she began to regularly greet us at the site and would eventually jump in laps and demand affection. This lady has a distinctive point of view and is not shy about sharing her opinions! In early December, we discovered Ebony had been attacked at the colony and had puncture wounds in her neck. We brought her to the emergency vet for treatment. She has healed incredibly well, and fur is starting to cover the area that was treated. This tough, beautiful girl is a survivor and now seems very happy to be spoiled rotten as an indoor cat for the rest of her days. She currently lives solo in a bathroom, with wand toys and cushy surfaces to nap on. Ebony Spitfire would make a wonderful pet in an adults-only home or one with gentle, older children (12+) as well. She is still learning how to play with people and can nibble when she is deeply engaged in play or overstimulated. As she settles in to her new life, she is doing so less and less, gradually learning to read our body language. She would appreciate a human(s) who can give her time and patience to figure out the house rules. She would prefer not to share space with other pets (she is very selective about other cats and has not met any dogs yet). In time she may be open to a mellow cat or a kitten friend, but not yet—this lady needs time to rest, relax, and gain more confidence in her surroundings. Ebony eats wet and dry food, always uses the litterbox, and has received all her vetting. This lovely gal is so ready to enjoy the peaceful, warm, and cozy indoor life with attentive humans and a comfortable home to call her own. Could that be with you?
