It seems we’re doing interviews, ‘Adoption Profiles’ is it? Very well, I’ll answer your questions, just make sure you get my good side for the pictures. My name is Ming and I am an absolute treasure… Also, I don’t have a bad side; just a little joke between friends. 

I came into Cheery Rescue as a “sibling duo” after Moon and I were scooped up by a concerned citizen. Family we may be, but 6 months is a long time on the calendar of a street cat. Half-brother, maybe?  But I wouldn’t worry about it. Frankly, I’ve put the family drama behind me, this girl is looking to the future. 

It took me a minute to get my bearings in Cheery Palace; it was the first time in my life that I’ve had roommates, as you can imagine,  it was a little overwhelming. Luckily, the cats all seemed pretty friendly and there were a string of absolutely delightful people telling me how beautiful, how soft, and how elegant I am. They are absolutely correct, but while I am glad to have such astute fans, even a stunner like myself longs to relax and let her hair down, so to speak. 

You see, deep down, I’m a couch cat. Movie night? Girl, I am so there. Big game? Absolutely, get me a jersey and we’ll make their playoff run! Cat business is high-stakes and stressful; after a long day of chasing sunbeams, and emptying food dishes,  I want to unwind. You, me, sofa, cuddle time. 

It should be noted that despite my enjoyment of a snooze, I am an active young lady. I know to mind my P’s and Q’s around older cats in the home, but having a young playmate in the home is a must if you want to see me at my most vibrant; Cheery Rescue volunteers can suggest someone if you don’t have anyone else in mind. I am a gentle girl and would do alright with young children, as long as they are careful and respectful. Dogs I am a bit more on the fence about, but with a calm dog and a careful introduction… I could imagine that being alright. As long as they understand how to be gentle, perhaps we might be good friends indeed. 

At the moment, I am eating Ziwi Peak dryfood  and Orjien Duck and Chicken wet. I enjoy them well enough, but I have no dietary restrictions and so I am willing to expand my culinary horizons as long as we take it slow and include a helpful probiotic to keep my tummy happy. 

I know that my many admirers will be sad to see me go, but I am ready for my domestic bliss. Would you be my forever?

Hello, my name is Moon, and I hope you bear with me, I’ve never had to dictate an adoption profile before, but the Cheery volunteer has promised to help me out so here it goes!

I guess some background information first? Cheery Cat Rescue was contacted about me and my ‘sister’ after a concerned citizen took us in. Upon examination the vet wasn’t so sure we were siblings given that she was half my age, but cat colony family trees can get a little complicated, so who’s to say really? Regardless, Ming went on to the Cheery Cat Palace and Adoption Lounge, but I was a little more nervous and so stayed with my foster. 

It can take me a little while to get used to new situations and people. I know my big cheeks must make me look really tough, but I’m a softie, outside and in. When I first came into care I did my best to hide, but once I learned that my foster was there to help I made sure to let him know how much I appreciate it. They call me ‘chatty’ but I think it’s important to show gratitude whenever possible and I will gladly follow you around the house to let you know how much I appreciate you. 

I love to hang out, if you’re lounging then I’m lounging. But, like, a little bit away. I would hate to impose… you know how it is. I want to be sure to respect your space, even if the pets are nice, and your lap looks so inviting… maybe we could work on that. 

I’m a big lad, but you should see how fast I go when I really get to zooming! I can still play with the best of them and I would love to show off my moves! A house with another young cat would be an excellent choice so we can play together, but with a person as committed to playtime as I am, I could be convinced to settle down solo. I haven’t had a ton of experience with children but I have heard that they can be taught to be polite and gentle so I could see that being alright. Dogs I’m really not sure about, but if we take it slow I could see myself adapting well to a well behaved pooch or two. 

Currently, I am eating Ziwi Peak dryfood and Fancy Feast wet, but I have no known tummy troubles and so I could see changing that in the future. A nice slow change and some probiotic to keep things steady would be the ideal situation for me, I think. 

I guess that’s everything, at least that’s everything I can think of immediately. I’ll ponder it a while longer and if you apply, I will make sure to update you when we meet!
