Winter

Winter is sweet, playful, sassy, and talkative! . Winter has playful bursts of energy (zoomies during playtime). Overall a huge cuddle bug. She seeks attention and loves spending time on your lap while you relax. She is a bit chatty and enjoys a game of "marco polo". She is soft, warm, and drools at a good gentle head scratch. Eat, Sleep, Play, Nap, Repeat! Most of the day, Winter lounges on soft blankets in a sun patch by an open window so she can listen to birds chirpin'.

Winter is a simple gal- her favorite toys consist of catnip filled paw-sized soft toys, string with feathers, and a good ol' lazer pointer (:. Winter's ideal home would be calm, peacful, and away from chaos. She can be timid at first but warms up quickly, especially for a "Churu" lickable treat. Loud, sudden noises spook her. She would ideally thrive as a single pet household. She is litter box trained, prefers a running water fountain, and loves a sturdy scratching post (may just need some re-direction).

Winter can experience some temporary anxiety and prefers to be near her human! (She may ask to sit on your lap while you pee, to make sure you don't fall in). Winter is healthy, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and is microchipped. She was adopted from the Humane Society. No dietary restrictions or current medications. Transport is Very stressful for Winter. Extra precautions should be taken when putting her in a cat carrier and during car travel: vet recommended a hard, sturdy cat carrier with a soft washable lining (in case she pees), oral gabapentin prior to departure to soothe her stress.
