Irma

Irma is a sweet cat recovering from life on the streets. She is now loving the indoor treatment and we think she deserves to be fed and warm for the rest of her days! The only problem with indoor life, according to Irma, is that someone might try to pick her up and take her away! She is still very scared of hands but the more she gets to know you the closer she will want to be. It’s entirely possible that after a few months she will be comfortable sitting with you and even accepting pets! But at the moment she prefers to sit a few feet away from her foster just watching and enjoying the day alongside her and her kitty friend Banana. She also loves to lounge on the bed all day long and has ventured onto the bed with the human a few times too! Irma loves other cats and would do best with a social cat who is more comfortable with people and can teach her the ropes. Irma is not so much into wrestling with other cats, but will play chase and loves to cuddle and groom! She loves being on a windowsill and sniffing outside, just as a reminder of the good ol’ days! Irma eats and drinks regularly and uses the litter box well. But sometimes when she’s scared she will forget to crouch, so a litter box with high sides is best for at least her first few weeks, or a pee pad beneath the box just in case. Treats are the way to get close to her, but sometimes the tube treats are too scary for her to eat without putting some on her nose repeatedly. Irma is stunningly beautiful, with a solid silver colouring and bright, lively green eyes. A slow blink from her is a high compliment indeed! Would you like to make Irma a part of your family?
