Juanita is an 8-month-old calico with a heart full of love and a spirit that shines despite her past. This petite little girl is happiest when she’s surrounded by humans, and her purring starts as soon as you enter the room. She loves to cuddle on the couch and will happily sleep on your pillow, making her the perfect companion for anyone looking for a sweet, affectionate kitty.

Juanita’s journey hasn’t been easy—she was found on the street in the cold this past winter and, during her spay procedure, it was discovered that she had been shot with a BB gun. The BBs were safely removed, and though she’s fully recovered, she’s still learning to trust and forget her previous negative experiences with humans.

Juanita would be happiest as an only cat where she can get all the attention she craves, though she does coexist well with other cats. She’s still learning how to play with other kitties without scaring herself, but with time, she’ll likely blossom into the perfect feline friend. If you’re ready to help her heal and shower her with love, Juanita is eager to find her forever family.
