About Sookie - Located in Burnley
Do you consider yourself to be a cat whisperer?
If so , this lovely little lady is looking to make her wishes come true . Sookie arrived in foster care , scared and unsure of what pet life and living with humans is all about .
She used to be petrified of human interaction at first and would hide under a couch for the greater part of the day and come out only at night to eat her food and visit the litter box , making sure, her foster carer was nowhere in sight .
With a whole lot of love , patience and treats based rewards , Sookie is starting to get an understanding of what pet life and living with humans is all about.
Sookie is still figuring out if human laps are comfortable or not , but she doesn’t mind sitting beside you on the couch in return for treats. She also loves getting head pats, chin scratches and will most certainly give you a slow blink or two to say thank you !
She likes to keep a keen eye on what her foster human does through the day , be it working on his laptop , attending zoom calls , watching TV and even cooking his meals .
When she thinks we are not looking , Sookie goes into full cat craziness mode , bouncing about and throwing her beloved toy mice in the air. Sookie also recently discovered the joys of chasing the red laser dot and goes absolutely bonkers chasing after it .
She is quite low maintenance and knows what she wants ; a small comfy spot to sleep on , a dark Comfy cave or couch to hide under and some soft toys to play with. Sookie also loves watching kittens meow and play on TV!
Being shy by nature, Sookie doesn’t like to be spooked by loud noises and sudden movements . She is learning to be brave day by day and expanding her territory slowly in her foster carers appartment.
Her idea home would be a quiet , adult only household where she can have a closed room or space with no outside balcony access where she can feel safe and comfortable and observe her humans go about their daily lives .
Sookie is not a fussy eater and enjoys taking treats and will ever so gently nibble them from your hands .
Although Sookie hasn’t felt too comfortable in her previous foster homes with other cats , we still think with slow introductions to another calm , laid back feline would make her feel more at ease and confident .
So , are you willing to give Sookie a forever home ? Make her realise that humans are not bad after all and living the life of a spoilt indoor cat is the best?
