Mandy

I first met this little calico back in December. She was investigating Marianne's shoes at the time - Marianne having temporarily ditched them so she could climb in with a caged cat who was in serious need of some proper snuggling.


Once we were introduced, Mandy readily gave up shoe inspection for the opportunity to have a little cuddle time herself.


From what Marianne tells me, this pretty much sums up Mandy's personality. She's known to be "super-friendly, likes to cuddle and fall asleep on laps."

So why hasn't she been snapped up for adoption?
"She's been at the shelter for quite a few years and has always been friendly, so I don't know why she hasn't been taken home by someone yet." 

She's not a pee-er like Andy, is she?
"As far as I know, she's not a pee-er, and is well-mannered and healthy."

Problems with other cats, perhaps?
"I've never seen her cuddled up with any one cat (or cats), but have never seen her in a squabble with any either."

Hmmm... it sounds like what we have here is a pretty little girl just waiting for somebody to love.

  1. Mandy is an angel, she has occasionally hissed at other kitties who are being obnoxious but gracefully backs off.
    She's psychic and knows when you need love.
    Mandy's main problem is everyone who loves her already has a full house.
    :(

    Unfortunately, Mandy IS a pee-er. She's been adopted twice and returned. It's too bad because she is just about the sweetest kitty.

  3. Allison - That *is* too bad! She really is a darling.
