About Polly Waffles
Miss Waffles is a very special girl who has recovered from a big scare in her early life.
After lots of patience and love pretty Polly has turned a very good corner and decided that humans are not so bad. She is still cautious and takes time to get to know people, but she enjoys human company and will happily hang out with you in the lounge, or sleep on the bed and have a little chat with you.
She is a low maintenance and independent little girl that is none-the-less a lovely presence in your home, and good company. She likes to play with teaser toys like 'Da Bird' - which is also a wonderful way to build her confidence and trust.
Recently she has rediscovered the joys of petting, and now regularly demands to be petted, and even picked up, especially at mealtimes when she considers a good bit of friendly attention to be an essential part of her meal. Polly LOVES all kinds of human food, and judicious treats can really help to boost her confidence. She hasn't managed to become a lap cat yet, but is getting closer all the time.
Polly needs a very patient and understanding home that is willing to help her continue to gain confidence and blossom into the beautiful cat that she wants to be. Helping a scaredy come into their full potential is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do and it builds a bond like no other.
Polly won't be suitable for a house with young children and would probably be happiest in a quiet adults only home.
She gets along very well with other cats and a confident cat gives her confidence too - she would do very well adopted with her more outgoing sister Hush who is a fun and flirty wiggly black cat, and if adopted together a discount applies. She could also be very happy in a home with another cat friendly cat, she really does love other cats so long as they are not bullying or aggressive.
Polly Waffles is in care in Watsonia
