My name is Flower and I am a ‘Spring’ girl as you can see, so I know a thing about a busy house. When Cheery Cat Rescue found us, my newborn kittens and I were among the more than 40 cats in the house. If you don’t mind my saying, that’s simply too many cats, no matter the space.

My six kittens and I were taken into foster care and for the first time in my short life I knew a little bit of peace. I think I was a good mom, if you’ll pardon me for saying so, at only 8 months old I tried my best at least. Now that they are weaned and big enough to explore the world without me I am comforted to know that they have CCR to take care of them and to make sure they will find homes full of love. For my part, I suppose I have to learn what it takes to love myself.

I’ve never been a particularly outspoken cat; when there were 40 of us, there wasn’t much time for individual attention, but Cheery has been teaching me to trust that a place of love is a place that celebrates your voice. I am quick with a purr and love to be pet and treasured. When I feel really safe, I have a squeekly little meow that I will save just for you.

I have experience with other cats, but I can be hesitant to interact unless I feel comfortable and safe. I could learn and grow into life with another young cat, but I would also do well with a quiet senior, or even as a solo cat; a secure place to grow and the love to support it is what I have been searching for my whole life. I have never met a dog, but a gentle friend I can imagine doing very well with, if the introduction is careful and slow. Kind children I think I would love, I have been a mother and I don’t know if you ever truly forget.

I have been doing well on Ziwi Peak dry food and Fancy Feast wet. I can be a little particular and have struggled to change to other wet foods while in the rescue’s care. You are welcome to try to change things, I have no medical dietary restrictions, but I promise nothing.

The ten short months of my life have been full of things done on behalf of others in situations I did not choose, adapting always to benefit others. It is my hope that the rest of them will be spent with people willing to make space for me; I am ready to be someone’s priority and to bloom, finally, for myself.
