Cassie

Cassie and her two kittens, Mordecai and Katia, were living rough in a hamlet in southern Alberta. They were brought to our attention in mid December 2024 when the kittens were five months old. The person who provided food and shelter was eventually able to capture them all, several days apart. The kittens were shy, they had never been handled; however, Cassie, has made remarkable progress which suggests a previous home, probably when just a youngster herself. We don't know if the damage to her ear was caused by frostbite or was deliberately cut.

Personality:

Cassie may have been someone’s cat at one time but was very scared by the time she came to PAW. This process has been reversed, and her foster-mom says Cassie is “coming along very well.” She enjoys being petted but isn’t entirely comfortable with being picked up, though one of her foster-guardians, a young man, can do so. It may be that Cassie is more used to gentle treatment from a male human than a female.

Something very pronounced in Cassie is her kittenish behaviour. It is likely she became a mother when she herself was still a kitten, and never had the chance to be a carefree youngster. She’s getting it now! She enjoys playing solo with toys but loves getting active with other cats, especially her own kittens. She has a very sweet personality. We would very much like to see Cassie in a permanent home with another young and active feline (maybe one of her own?).

She is very diligent in her hygiene, and keeps herself well-groomed.
