Description:
Hi, my name is Little Monkey. My mom and I were left to fend for ourselves in a hospital parking lot in 95-degree weather, and some very loving people rescued us. I am now 13 months old, FIV positive and I have been waiting a while now for my forever home. I know the right family will come along. Let me explain to you who I am. I will start by telling you that I am a very loving and affectionate kitty, but it is normal for me to get scared easily and become very defensive and aggressive at times. It takes me some time to adapt to new people and new surroundings. Once adjusted, I will do well with a family that will be patient with me and allow me to come to them when I want love and affection. I love to be petted and will immediately start purring. At times, I will even tolerate being held for a short period. I don't like to be forced to do things. I like things on my terms. I don't like having my nails clipped, so I require a muzzle because I can get very stressed and end up in my defensive and aggressive mode. I am not a big fan of being forced into a cat carrier, so if you decide to give me a chance and take me home, a top-loader cat carrier works best for me. I will adjust just fine in a home with no other animals or children and with a family that will be very patient and understanding with me. I enjoy playing with my cat toys, especially when my foster mom plays with them with me. I am full of energy and enjoy running and jumping. I will jump up on your lap or crawl into bed with you to take a nap, cuddle, or just to get some love. I can be very vocal and will answer you back when you call my name. After a while, you will get to know exactly what I am saying. I enjoy watching the birds come to the window bird feeder and will try to catch them. I am a very smart kitty, and I taught myself how to open doors. My foster mom had to start taping them shut because I was getting into and eating all my kitty treats in one sitting. Well, now that you know my story and you know who I am, I hope you will give me a chance. I really am a loving and affectionate kitty who loves to get love and affection back. I know my forever home is out there, and I will wait patiently for the right family to find me, and I hope that family will be you! I thank you for reading my story.
