Poppy

Adopted from The Lost Dogs' Home as a tiny kitten, she recently found herself back in our care through no fault of her own when her owner was no longer able to provide the stability and care she deserved. While it's been a big adjustment returning to the shelter she once left behind, Poppy has handled the change with remarkable grace and resilience.

At 8 years old, Poppy knows exactly what she likes, and she's not afraid to let you know. Whether it's choosing between wet food and dry food, insisting on access to every room in the house, or deciding when she's in the mood for affection, this lovely lady has a touch of diva about her. One day she's all about dry food, the next it's wet food only. Naturally, her humans will just have to keep up!

Poppy is an affectionate and social cat who genuinely enjoys meeting new people. She loves company and will happily spend time alongside her favourite humans, particularly if there's a comfy couch, warm bed, or sunny window involved. While she isn't a fan of being picked up, she's more than happy to come to you when she's ready for attention. If you're relaxing on the couch, don't be surprised if she decides your lap is the perfect place to settle down. With Poppy, affection is very much on her terms, and that's all part of her charm.

One thing Poppy absolutely cannot tolerate is a closed door. If she believes she should be on the other side of it, she'll make sure you know! She's quite the conversationalist and isn't shy about voicing her opinions when necessary.

Poppy does have a few health considerations that her new home will need to be aware of, but nothing that stops her from enjoying life or being the wonderful companion she is. Our team will be happy to discuss these with potential adopters and provide guidance on her ongoing care.

After a difficult few months, Poppy is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a loving home where she can settle in for good. She's affectionate, full of personality, and wonderfully honest about what she wants from life. If you're looking for a cat with character, confidence, and plenty of love to give, Poppy might just be your perfect match.
