Johnette (CaV17-225)

Johnette... yes, we'll be honest - when she first came into care, we thought she was a boy and named her John - when our mistake was realised a few days later, it seemed a bit late to change the name and so now, she's Johnette. Somehow it suits her perfectly and her name is just as unique as she is!
Johnette is a very confident, sociable, friendly, smoochy cat. She loves people and loves to be patted and has a passion for playing with toys in the cutest way that would make you think she was still a kitten. Many of the cats who come into our care are shy or timid, affected by bad experiences in the past or simply born that way. But not Johnette! She's a total social butterfly.

The one thing you very quickly notice when meeting Johnette in person is that she has a rather moth-eaten appearance about her coat (just another unique thing about her!) Some months ago, her family moved away and simply left her behind. She moved into a garden up the street and found a new food source, but the resident there didn't want a cat around. Being left behind by her family was devastating for Johnette and the stress caused her to begin pulling her hair out in clumps and severely over-grooming herself. During her time in foster care, the hair has been slowly growing back. It's a long process unfortunately so she still looks pretty rough round the edges! But with continued love and care in a new permanent home, Johnette will eventually regrow a full healthy coat and will look a bit more 'normal.'

The ideal home for this lady is one where she's the only feline around, as she's a bit of a bossy britches and isn't afraid to tell off the other cats in her foster home! She seems very tolerant of dogs so would likely be fine to live with a cat-friendly canine. She's a neat and tidy girl who is not at all fussy with food and is happy to be left alone while you go out to work (you have to work to pay for her food, after all!!)

There's something really awesome about Johnette. We hope we've conveyed it to you but if you're not convinced, please come and meet her so she can win you over!
