My story

NOTE: Goldilocks needs a foster home with experienced cat caretaker. She will be available for adoption once we get to know her better and know what she needs. Goldilocks Personality Goldilocks is a very friendly, confident kitty. And, of course, a gorgeous and colorful fluffy girl. She has only been in our care for a very short period of time and has already had four trips to the vet to address health issues - now resolved - and spaying. So many trips to the vet can, of course, be upsetting for cats. As she is settling in, she is becoming very playful. Goldilocks doesn't hide when in a new place or when meeting new people. However, she has been a little 'on guard' so far in our care. She loves to greet you with lots of purring and rubbing up against you. But she is cautious when you reach for her and may swat or nip you if she feels uncertain. We know nothing about her background and don't know what she's been through. Every day she is getting more comfortable with people and we think once she is settled and knows her humans won't hurt her she will continue to settle down. Although she may always be a little sassy! Type of Foster Home Needed Goldilocks needs an experienced cat caretaker who understands that she needs to feel comfortable before being approached and petted. Just let her come to you and she greets you with loving affection - rubbing up against you and non-stop purring. Because she has been a little defensive, we are seeking a patient and caring foster home with no other cats or children.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA. Please see our adoption guidelines at  https://spcanova.org/about-us/adoption-policies/. June 27, 2025, 12:55 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Goldilocks - Needs Foster Home, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
