About Poppy

Poppy is related to Lena

Must be homed with Lena

Poppy is a gorgeous tabby looking for her forever home with her sister Lena.

She has the sweetest round face, a cheeky look in her yellow-green eyes, and an insatiable curiosity for everything that goes on around her. She was rescued when she was still a kitten, and while she is the shy one in the pair, she has grown to trust and enjoy the company of the people she knows. Every day, she follows us around the house to check out what’s happening, and in the evening, she comes to sit on our legs to watch TV with us and Lena. She loves chasing a bouncing ball or a toy mouse, and really looks forward to daily playtime. She also has lots of fun chasing her sister up and down the stairs, and play fighting with her.

Poppy can still be quite skittish. While in time she will start sitting with the people she trusts, kneading and purring, she doesn’t like being touched. Treats will bring her closer: she eats Dreamies out of our hands, and when she’s having cat yogurt, she happily accepts pets and lets us brush her. It will take a few weeks before she is completely at ease in a new environment, but she made a lot of progress since arriving at her foster home, and she is an absolute joy to be around.

Poppy loves going out and exploring our garden, so giving her access to an outdoor space is recommended - as long as it’s appropriately secured to avoid her wandering off. She will also need a couple of safe spots around the house she can nap in or retreat to, knowing she won’t be bothered there.

Poppy and Lena would be suitable for adopters looking for a pair of easygoing cats to bring joy and liven up the home.
