All About Me

Rosie is a very loving and sweet cat who enjoys long lap naps and adores the attention of a kind human. She was quite bonded with her previous owner, an elderly woman who rescued her and her sister (Sunshine) and kitten (Magic Man) back in 2017. Unfortunately, this owner was unable to continue having pets after a rapid decline in health this year. Rosie was her precious lap cat - spending hours on her lap helping with crocheting and keeping up with current events. Though she still misses her mama, she runs right up to make herself comfortable on any lap that presents itself to her!

Rosie has been letting us know that she would love to be an only cat. According to her previous owner, she was very protective of Sunshine and Magic Man when they were strays - she was the leader of their pack! But Rosie says her job is done with these two and it's time they move out and find a place of their own! She'll make a lovely only-cat and has a special affinity for mature women (when her foster grandma visits her now, she really lights up), though kind and understanding are her top requirements for a companion.

Rosie splits her time between lounging on the cat condo watching birds and tucking away in a safe hiding spot for long sleeps. That is, unless there is a human lap available to her, then that's where she'll be!

Rosie is learning more about being picked up, her previous owner had some age-related mobility issues, so her cats always jumped up to her and never got accustomed to being carried.
She does get agitated when picked up, but her foster mom is slowly acclimating her to the idea and she's tolerating it with more ease every day. She prefers attention and affection on her own terms, which are quite lenient once you know the boundaries. She didn't get her name for nothing - she's 95% sweet and gorgeous with about 5% protective thorn. Therefore, we think that her ideal home would be with someone who is an experienced cat owner, without small children.
