I adopted my girl Piki (FKA Ginger) from Paws & Claws a few months ago. I saw her description on Petfinder, and she sounded like the sweetest little cat and perfect for the job of my ESA. Just a few days later, I got to bring her home!
Piki showed me what a special girl she is right away- in the car she didn't even complain, just wanted to curl up in my lap and be petted! I've never met a cat as happy and confident as Piki. She's the life of the party wherever she is, and has already proved many people who thought cats weren't friendly very wrong!
She is goofy, gentle, resilient, and outgoing, so much so that I have started to work with her to see her comfort level with wearing a harness because I think she could be an amazing visiting comfort animal at a hospital or retirement home.
My roommate has a cat named Honey, who is fearful and nervous that she usually doesn't even let us pet her and hid in a box spring for the first weeks in our apartment. When Piki came home she was determined to become Honey's best friend. Sure enough, about a week later they became BFFs and Honey's demeanor completely changed! She is more confident and happy, and I have never seen two cats get along so lovingly.
Piki is a 7 lb ray of sunshine, and I can't thank Paws and Claws enough for bringing us together!
Love,
