Papaya

My story

Papaya is a gentle girl with a quiet charm! She’s still finding confidence in the big world, and she prefers to take things at her own pace.  Shy at first, Papaya blossoms when given patience, space and understanding. She’s the kind of cat who enjoys peaceful windowsills, soft blankets and watching the world go by. Papaya is independent and low maintenance, perfect for someone who appreciates a calm companion and respects her need for a little personal space.  While she may not be a lap cat (yet!), she’s full of potential and love for the right person.

This suggested adoption fee allows the ASPCA to continue our lifesaving work and help even more animals in need. We are grateful for any and all amounts given at the time of adoption.  For more information on adopting from the ASPCA, please visit www.aspca.org/adoptionsteps. &#226&#128&#139 **The ASPCA is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of the community, the animals in our care and our staff, and we are keeping a close eye on developments related to the COVID-19 crisis as they evolve. As such, the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City is currently closed for in-person visitors. However, we are excited to offer remote adoptions using video conferencing! In-person meet-and-greets are also sometimes available or required for specific animals. Please check out our available cats and dogs above, and if one catches your eye, apply directly for him or her. An ASPCA Matchmaker will let you know if the animal you are interested in adopting is eligible for or requires an in-person meet-and-greet. Please note: Adoption applications are handled in the order they are received and submitting an adoption survey does not constitute a hold or guaranteed adoption. You can expect to receive automated emails updating you on your adoption status as our Matchmakers go through applications. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you find your match!** June 12, 2025, 3:42 pm
