After spending a few minutes with Penny, you’ll be convinced that she’s been doted on from the moment she was minted. Her sweet demeanor and outgoing personality tell the story of a cat who’s been treasured since she was a shiny, new Penny. But her ear tip reveals the truth: Penny has lived a past life outdoors.

We don’t know much about the backstory of this calico cutie who came to us from another shelter. Penny’s tipped ear tells us that she was “TNR’ed,” a process that involves humanely trapping a free-roaming cat, neutering or spaying the cat, and then returning them to their outdoor home. But Penny seems much more comfortable with humans than your average TNR’ed feline, and she is clearly ready to settle into a forever home and enjoy all the comforts of indoor life.

Penny’s affectionate and friendly nature shines through in her interactions, and she’s sure to bond quickly with her new family. However, her love for humans does not extend to her fellow felines, and she would prefer a home where she can shine as the only star of your show. Penny also has IBD, and needs to stay on a prescription hypoallergenic diet to keep her feeling her best.

As the saying goes, “find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck.” It’s not that Penny herself is a good luck charm, but that anyone would be lucky to have her as their kitty companion.
