Aroura

Aroura was rescued from outside last summer along with her four babies. They have since been adopted and now it’s time for Aroura to find her forever family. She is the sweetest little thing, though shy with new people. She has bonded to her foster mom but is still skittish around new people. Her outdoor experience instilled caution, a natural product of living an uncertain life, but once she opens up and trusts, she is the most darling girl! She and her foster brother are quite the pair and have been “dating” - Aroura enjoys all the affection he dotes upon her! She needs a cat buddy like him in her forever home to help her continue to build confidence, and have a companion as she thrives on being around other cats. He is helping her become her best self and plays with her and grooms her constantly. They are very adorable! Aroura is very active at night when the humans are sleeping and loves to play with both of her foster brothers. She enjoys lots of self-play time including with her squeaky mouse. She loves catnip and will chew on it and roll around like an adorable silly girl! She also likes ribbon toy wands but is less interested in interactive play than self-play. She will sit on on a pillow on her foster’s lap and enjoy some cuddles for a short while, but her preference is to sit next to her foster mom and enjoy affection on her own terms; sometimes needing a little encouragement, but always with complete enjoyment once she relaxes into the petting hand. Occasionally, she will even ask for belly rubs! Aroura loves to be brushed and this is a good way to bond with her. She is ok to be picked up by her foster mom but only for a short while and on her own terms, Aroura loves cat trees and towers with good, sturdy scratching posts so this is a must in her forever home. She LOVES birdwatching on YouTube channels, especially Birder King! She cuddles in her comfy, cozy covered bed so one of these would be perfect for her; it also gives her a safe space to “hide” when she feels overwhelmed or when adjusting to a new space. She has a healthy appetite and eats her dry and wet food well. She loves all treats but especially the creamy tube treats — this is a sure way into her heart! Because she is skittish, she would do best in a quieter home without small children. She got along with the two foster cats but has not lived with dogs in foster. Though she had been exposed to friendly neighbourhood dogs when she lived outside, so she may be ok with gentle dogs after a proper introduction. Aroura is a very special girl who needs a patient and loving home, with people who will help her blossom and live the best life. Are you Aroura’s Special Someone?
