Meet Stevie
Stevie has a sweet face, and a sweet personality.
She’s a black, grey, and tan tabby with big ears, white-outlined pale green eyes, a snowy nose-to-chin-to-chest bib, and—for some odd reason—one little patch of orange fur on a back foot. She looks elegant wherever she chooses to lie, but she’s more than willing to forget her dignity and flip over for tummy rubs and chin scratches!
Stevie loves cuddling: when you sit down, she’ll come and put her paws on your knee, and wait politely to be invited up, then she’ll settle into your lap or chest, purring happily. Or stretch up to snuggle her head into your neck and shoulder and purr in your ear! If you’re not providing enough attention, she’ll jump to a table beside you to pat your arm and gaze into your face, or if you’re petting her in the wrong place, she’ll gently hook her paw around your hand to guide it. Even at the vet’s, she purred her way right through some annoying procedures!
Although Stevie was outside around the neighbourhood for several weeks, and resisted attempts to bring her close, once she’d made up her mind to come in, she settled easily. She’ll occasionally go to the door and look hopeful, but she doesn’t insist, and is content to do her bird-watching through a window. She’s a young cat and seemed naturally quiet, but she’s beginning to play more as she recovers from her spay--chasing the rainbows from the window crystals, and loving to have a string pulled along for her to chase. She’s not picky about food, and can be lured into the carrier with a pinch of catnip. Her one difficult habit is that she’s an incredibly enthusiastic litter-box scraper and flings litter about everywhere, but a covered litter-box should take care of that!
Everyone who meets Stevie says, “You’re going to keep her, right????” And there’s certainly times I wish I could, but I think she’ll be happier in a permanent home with humans who have time and energy enough to provide all the loving and play she wants.
NOTE: Stevie has FIV, which is an immune disorder caused by a virus passed through deep bite wounds. Cats with FIV typically live a normal lifespan but it is recommended to have annual vet visits, be up to date on vaccines, and not be allowed to roam outside. While it is important that an adopter understand that there is a very minimal risk (especially during introduction periods where risk fighting could be heightened), many FIV+ cats cohabitate with other cats without issue or concern.
