Daisy

***IN FOSTER*** Daisy is ready to grace your indoor garden! Daisy is a delicate flower, who was rescued from a multi-cat situation and eventually transferred into our care. She took her time to warm up and show us her beautiful petals, and just like a late-blooming flower, there is more to unravel. Now that the summer heat is here, Daisy is in search of a homey garden where she can lay down her roots. This little flower has been preparing to be repotted and all she needs now is a caring family to help her blossom! Once a slow-growing pod, Daisy is now a flower waiting to be displayed. She has been working on her people skills, getting more comfortable and adjusting to human company. This flower is known to sniff hands and curiously snoop, observing from a distance everything that's happening. She's certainly a curious soul! Though she may initially shy away from direct contact, it's only because she needs to be familiar with you and her surroundings. Daisy allows pets from those she trusts, purring in their company, and is comfortable when in a familiar environment where she can confidently explore. When going to the vet, this flower becomes shy and will avoid you (thinking you're a traitor), but she always warms up and opens her petals again when back on home turf! Some flowers can't be forced to bloom, and Daisy will require patience, and a bit of work for her to fully blossom into her true self! Luckily, this vibrant fireball has an adorably expressive face, which makes it easy to gauge her comfort level! Despite her initially shying away from physical contact, Daisy is very sweet and gentle. Tasty treats and playtime are the best ways to get on her good side. She thrives on playful interactions, rolling around on the floor to get anyone's attention. Daisy loves to whack at the wand and spring toys, even delighting in games of chase with the laser pointer, attacking, sliding, and spinning to catch it under her fluffy paws. Any toy will do the trick! There is never a time when this flower isn't curious, as she has been known to stare at her foster while they're blow drying their hair, and she even sniffs people's feet (just making sure they're clean!). Reflecting the lifestyle of a flower, her other hobbies include people and bird watching from the window, gazing at her gorgeous self in the mirror, and sleeping in late on weekends. Daisy finds solace in the company of other feline friends, sharing an occasional nap or playing with her resident companions. She's even been known to groom her foster's dog once in a while! Yet, there are times when she would rather ignore them (some alone time is always nice, too). A quiet home without small children would be the best place for Daisy to flourish; she doesn't want children stomping around in her space. We should also note that Daisy has inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is well controlled by a lifelong, daily medication and special diet. This good girl happily takes her medicine in a pill pocket, like a treat! Daisy is searching for a permanent garden to establish her roots and bloom into the radiant flower we know she is.
