I'm Poppy and I haven't given up on finding love.

I'm a black-and-white tuxedo girl with soft green eyes that carry my feelings before I ever make a sound. When I'm unsure, I make myself small - not because I don't want connection, but because my longing is written all over me. Everything about me is quiet, sensitive, and sincere.
I was previously adopted out and when life changed for my person, I had to come back to the shelter. I've been learning how to feel comfortable in a communal room, how to gain confidence again.

I may be shy at first, but I am deeply sweet. Once I feel safe, I form strong, meaningful bonds. I'm not the kind of cat who rushes into your arms, but the kind who grows closer to you day by day, building a connection that is steady, loyal, and real. I would also enjoy living with a feline friend who can help me feel secure and remind me that I'm not alone.

If you've ever had room in your heart for a shy, tender soul, please don't scroll past me. Won't you be the one to let me finally feel at home?

About Poppy: Poppy would do best in a calm home with adults and older children who understand that she needs time to blossom, patience to build trust, and a family who will let her open up at her own pace. In return, she will give gentle, devoted companionship that comes straight from the heart.
