Cats have a tendency to place themselves on the highest pedestal they can find. Sometimes, it appears as if they believe they're royals atop their castle with a space all their own. Even if they may find themselves in a temporary home, that doesn't mean they lose their desire to be lauded.
On April 28, 2022, Bitty was surrendered to the Winchester SPCA by her elderly owners who decided they could not give their cat the quality of life they thought she deserved. The black and white domestic shorthair was in full health when she arrived, even showing off her love of treats when she came in the door.
Story written by Alex Lemieux.
In the two months Bitty was housed in the local shelter, she got to know a number of other cats seeking forever homes. While she gets along with the feline bunch, she's much more fond of humans.
When potential cat parents come into the interaction room, Bitty is shy at first, checking out the situation from afar. Yet, once she gets the lay of the land, she perks up and greets eager petters with her arched back to get some scratches, enjoying affirmation from what Bitty may think are her loyal subjects.
After a fair share of back scratches, Bitty will plop down on the floor in near defiance. This lets you know when she wants her own personal space to get back to concentrating on the things around her, surveying her dominion. One of those things is ensuring that her favorite toy blue mouse is near her just in case she feels the need to expend some energy by swatting it across the room. But that does sometimes cause a row with other cats in the chase for it.
Bitty needs a home where she can be the impromptu center of attention. At any time, Bitty will want her pet parents to show they love her by showering her with engagement, pampering her with a belly full of cat treats, and answering to her when she's trying to make you aware of her ever-present need for back scratches and regal admiration.
However, Bitty doesn't have to wait and wish anymore as she's plopped on the floor. On June 8, Bitty found her forever home and is set to transition into being the queen of her own castle, again.
