About Pippa *BONDED PAIR with Momma Poppy*
Pippa is a beautiful 9-month-old tabby girl with big curious eyes and a gentle spirit. She came to rescue from a community cat colony in Baltimore City along with her devoted mommy, Poppy. Though still learning that people can be trusted, Pippa has already made wonderful progress in foster care.This playful young kitten loves chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, and staying close to her mama. She’s especially bonded to Poppy and still nurses occasionally for comfort (!), so they would thrive best if adopted together.Pippa is shy at first and still a little skittish about being touched, but her sweet personality shines through more every day. She happily rubs against her foster parents’ legs for affection and enjoys laying beside them once she feels safe. Petting is still something she’s learning to accept, outside of mealtime (she will tolerate most any handling while she is eating), but with patience, love, and a calm home, Pippa continues to blossom.Pippa would do best with an adopter who understands that trust takes time and who will celebrate the small victories as she gains confidence. Watching her come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding, and she has so much love to give.If you’re looking for a gentle, playful companion and have room in your heart for both Pippa and Poppy, this sweet pair may be the perfect addition to your family. Pippa has been fine with the male cat in her foster home. Her bonded Momma Poppy is slowly getting used to being around other cats. They should both do fine in a home with another cat after an initial separation period and slow introductions. Same for dogs. We provide advice and tips during the virtual home visit. We are also always available for questions. ASHA offers a foster-to-adopt program for adult cats like Pippa and Momma Poppy. There is no commitment to adopt if it does not work out after 4 weeks.
