Annie Q's story
Meet Annie Q (Q stands for cute!!!). She's a tiny girl, maybe 5 pounds. An itty bitty Maine Coon type kitty. She didn't have steady food as a kitten so she didn't grow big. But that didn't stop her from developing a sweetness that can steal your heart.
Annie Q is shy but LOVES being pet. She loves to have her face rubbed and her chin scratched and when she is all full of purrs and snuggies, a tummy rub is just purrfect. She gives kitty kisses and nose nuzzles. This is not something she will do when you first meet her; she has to learn to trust you. She is little but she is very smart. While she is checking you out, she will be making friends with the nice cat in your house. She does love to have a cat friend. She talks to her in the tiniest little chirp, calls her to come up and play. She races around with her cat friend and if you'll join in, she will nicely share the toy.
Annie Q loves her quiet space to nap, and her kitty friend to play with, and she may enjoy a safe yard where she can play in nice weather. But she is young and curious and ready to explore the options of life. We thought she surely needed a VERY quiet home where nothing ever changed. But when her foster home was bustling with people, kids yelling and music blaring, Annie came out of hiding to check out what the heck was going on. She was mesmerized by the little people. She's short and they were short too. She didn't want to be run at or picked up right away, but she totally found the kids fascinating and let the gentle ones hold out their hand for a sniff. It's possible that Annie might like a little kid friend who is gentle and kind and likes to play toy mouse with her and then snuggle up to purrs and soft cuddles at night.
A cat friend is required for Annie Q. And love, lots of love, and patience while she gets settled in the house. And definitely a promise of forever.
