Update: Precious

When I started my feeding shift in the doublewide on Monday evening, a very friendly black kitty I hadn't seen in there before approached me with a cheerful request for attention. She seemed familiar, but I just couldn't place her.

She turned out to be Precious, who arrived at the sanctuary last summer. She'd started off in the Connor building, and last I heard she'd been moved to one of the back pens. But Precious just loved people so much that staff decided she's be happier in the doublewide, where there are a lot more opportunities for her to spend time with staff and volunteers and make friends with visitors passing through.

Precious wasted no time in renewing her acquaintance with me, running up to me meowing to say hello, then weaving, rubbing, and reaching up to pat my legs. She truly does love spending time with her human friends.

Precious

Precious, who arrived at the RAPS sanctuary at the beginning of July, is every bit as sweet as her name suggests.

She unfortunately suffers from chronic diarrhea, which is one of the reasons she ended up at the sanctuary. But she doesn't seem to be letting any of this phase her, and receives visitors to her cage in the Connor building with unreserved pleasure. She was so ready to cuddle when I met her this evening that it was tough to get anything but out-of-focus photos of the top of her head as she happily purred and rubbed.

She also likes to give kisses, and spent some of our visit gently licking my hands. A very, very sweet cat. Come and pay her a visit.
