Description:
We are posting Roxy for the people who found her and kindly took her in. They adore Roxy, but because they could not make peace between Roxy and their pre-existing cat, they feel it's in the best interest of all to find a good home for Roxy! Roxy does well at our building with other cats, so it seems like it was just a personality clash. These girls were both strays and may have felt insecure about resources. This is the finder's description of Roxy! Around Christmas 2024 a thin skittish black cat, apparently a stray, was living under our sun porch. We gave her food but initially we could not approach her. We live-trapped her and moved her into a room in our basement, where she was soon rubbing our legs, talking to us, and soliciting pets. We felt we should try to find this special cat’s previous home. We advertised and knocked on doors without success. In the process of trying to return this cat to her home, we learned that a black cat had been living as a stray in the neighborhood. We named this cat Roxy. We have found her to be affectionate, intelligent, playful, and quite vocal. She loves treats but does not like to have her tummy rubbed. She loves being petted but is not yet a lap cat. She is still somewhat skeptical of new humans, probably a result of having lived as a stray. She has shiny black fur, black whiskers, black nose, black toe beans, golden yellow eyes, and is quite tall. A web search revealed she is probably a fancy breed known as “Bombay.” She has two small patches of white hair on her chest and belly. She seems to be quite young, so these may also become black. In January a veterinarian examined Roxy and found her to be spayed and healthy. She was given shots and a chip. Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!
