Female Cat, Tuxedo

Description:
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step.Meet Venus Born under the open sky, or as Taylor Swift would say, "The sky was Opalite". Venus came into the world outdoors and has never forgotten her humble beginnings AKA street life.. mostly because she brings it up on the daily! Yes, she's dramatic. Yes, she's a little grumpy cat 2.0 Yes, she will look at you like you've disappointed her ancestors. But here's the twist- Pick her up and she melts like butter on a warm biscuit. She will even purr. She allows handling, (with a mild expression of inconvenience), tolerates snuggles, and secretly likes being held.. as long as you understand she is doing you the favor (and she wont initiate it). Venus is the perfect mix of sass and sweetness. She'll rule your home with tiny (but large) judgmental eyes but will curl up when you hold her. Venus is also an interesting little thing and here is why: When she was temporarily staying at her rescuers house, She seeked out cuddles and companionship from the adult cats in the home and the 100lb chocolate Labrador (who is also a therapy dog and great with cats)... fast forward at her current foster home, she is not a fan of the kittens in her foster room and looks at them as if they are peasants. She also ignores the adult cats at her foster home. We do think she could co exist with a friendly adult cat or even a calm and cat friendly dog but the quieter the house, the better! Adopt Venus-- because lets face it.. every household deserves a little bit of drama and a whole lot of cute!! All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only.
