Meet Cleo,

Cleo is an affectionate, confident girl who firmly believes everyone should know just how adorable she is — and she’s more than happy to provide regular demonstrations. She loves attention and will happily roll around at your feet, stretch herself out as far as possible and generally make a spectacle of herself until you give in and admire her. She has plenty of affection to share, although every now and then she’ll take a little break to wander off, investigate what everyone else is doing, and make sure she isn’t missing anything important.

While Cleo is easy to pick up, she much prefers having all four paws on the ground where she can properly perform her signature rolls and bigggg stretches. She can be quite demanding when she decides it’s time for attention, but she also has a wonderfully playful side. Her absolute favourite toy is a little plastic spring, and after breakfast she’ll happily zoom around chasing it with all the enthusiasm of a kitten.

Food, surprisingly, is one area where Cleo has standards. She isn’t particularly food motivated and can be a little fussy about what makes it onto her menu, although wet food in gravy has received her tick of approval. She’s equally enthusiastic about her litter tray — particularly when it comes to covering her business. Cleo takes digging so seriously that some of the litter occasionally comes along for the ride, so a nice big tray with plenty of room to dig would suit her perfectly.

Cleo is a social girl who loves people and could settle happily into a variety of homes, including somewhere a little busier once she’s had time to adjust. She has shown some interest in another cat before deciding she had better things to do, although hearing dogs nearby made her nervous, so any introductions to other pets would need to be slow and considered. Mostly, Cleo is looking for a home where she can receive plenty of attention, chase her beloved springs and continue reminding everyone, several times a day, that yes, she really is that adorable.

Post Adoption Life: With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as seamless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories - most are left in the shelter by their owners. The information we have is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks may surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
