To get to know Guppy you may need some tissues near by. At just a month old, Guppy and her siblings found themselves stranded on the cold streets of Rochester when their street cat mama was hit by a car. Their poor mother didn't make it and the litter was taken in by a bystander who surrendered them to GRASP for care. For the past couple months, Guppy and her siblings have been cared for deeply by fosters who have worked to gain their trust, but it has been an uphill battle due to the litter's previous trauma with humans. Ever so slowly they have started opening up, but they are by no means ready for cuddles despite their adorable looks.
Guppy is the smallest of the litter, but that doesn't make her the most calm by any means. Guppy is curious, rambunctious, and full of life and energy. She does not allow her foster parents to hold her yet she will meow at them and dance around their feet during feeding times to ensure they know not to skip her daily helping of deliciousness. One she's eaten, Guppy will happily prance around the house playing with her littermates and fellow cat fosters. There are dogs in the house as well that she seems interested in, but has not been brave enough to go near. We won't rule out dogs for this reason but it is recommended that they be very respectful of her boundaries. Same goes with children. She has been around kids, but does not want to be handled by them. Guppy has the potential to be someone's adorable companion and a cat's lively playmate as long as a loving, respectful house open their hearts to give her the time she needs to heal from past wounds.
If patience is your strong suit and you are willing to put in the time to earn this girl's trust, Guppy could be the little one for you.
This cat has been combo-tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, received all age-appropriate vaccinations and is altered.
