TRULY LOVELY YOUNG GIRL GREETS OUR VOLUNTEERS, GIVES HEAD BUNTS IN EXCHANGE FOR PETTING AND LOVES TO PLAY WITH HER FELINE FRIENDS

Hello friends,
My name is Patches and I came to King Street Cats in 2009 - I am officially the "longest serving cat" here - with my siblings when we were tiny kittens. My siblings have all been adopted and I have a question: will you take me home?? I am going to make a loyal, attentive, quiet and devoted companion.

I was very shy in the beginning but I spent time in a wonderful foster home where I blossomed and came out of my shell. When I came back to King Street Cats in order to meet my forever family I found myself feeling a bit shy again, but I'm getting over that too.

When our volunteers arrive, I greet them and ask to be petted by butting against them gently with my head. That's my quiet way of requesting attention. I can be a bit timid with brand new humans, which is why my perfect human(s) will be calm, quiet, gentle and patient with me. In return I offer my loyalty and mellow companionship.

One of my friends is the volunteer who helped me type this. I will show you how much I have progressed: When she comes to visit, I am the FIRST cat to come over and say hi. I stay next to her and follow her all around. I give endless gentle bumps against her legs with my head to remind her that I am down here (I do like to keep all four paws connected to the floor right now) and waiting for affection. If there's an empty chair nearby or if I can hop up on a table nearby, I will do that so I can get petted even more. This week I started to stand up on my hind legs and put my front paws on the edge of the chair my friend's been sitting in. Now THIS is a very cute maneuver on my part and a wonderful ploy to get even more head rubs. I think I want to jump up and sit with her... but, but, but I'm not quite there yet. Something makes me not want to be picked up yet. That doesn't stop me from demonstrating my interest, my affection, and my desire to be a loyal friend.

I love other cats and really love to play. I mean I really love these things. Cat, kitten - doesn't matter as long as it has four paws and says "Meow" then I am ready to play. If you happen to have some nice kitties, or a kitty, at home who would like a playmate... we really need to meet.

If you happen to have human kiddies at home, I politely request that they be older and mature enough to respect my need for gentle and patient handling.

I've been waiting since 2009 to find my forever home with an understanding, gentle human... and feline friendship. Please, please come to see me, at our weekly open-house. You can start by completing an online adoption application. Make sure to enter Patches, the record-setting resident girl, in the cat you would like to meet.

Affectionately yours,
Patches
