Hope

My story

Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Sweet and Calm Meow! My name is Hope, and my estimated date of birth is April 17, 2017. I’m a gentle, quiet soul—a serene senior girl with the softest presence. The volunteers affectionately say I resemble a big, cozy pillow or a fluffy marshmallow, and I must admit, I do wear my roundness with pride. I have a calm, relaxed demeanor and find true contentment simply lounging in a warm bed or nestled in a soft blanket. I enjoy the comfort of gentle pets and kind words spoken softly. Though I won’t actively seek out affection, I welcome it when it’s offered with patience and care—even from people I’ve just met. When I first arrived at the rescue, I was scared and withdrawn. I would duck my head or retreat to the back of my kennel if anyone approached. But over time, I’ve learned to trust. Now, I allow gentle touches without hesitation, and my personality slowly blossoms the more time you spend with me. I did have some health issues in the past, including bladder stones, which led to occasional accidents in my previous home. Thankfully, those stones were successfully removed, and I’m now feeling much better. My litter box habits have improved significantly, and I haven’t had any recent accidents. I am currently on a special urinary-support diet (Hill’s C/D dry food), which has helped me stay healthy, and it is highly recommended that I remain on this diet in my new home. Wet food isn’t really my thing—I much prefer my crunchy kibble! I get along well with other calm cats who respect my space and don’t try to coax me into play. I’m not comfortable around dogs or young children, as their energy can be overwhelming for me. I would do best in a peaceful, adult home where I can enjoy quiet companionship and feel safe. I’m currently relaxing at Kitty Corner, patiently waiting for someone who understands the beauty of a calm, quiet connection. If you're looking for a low-key, affectionate companion with a heart full of quiet resilience, I’d love for you to come meet me. With a little time and kindness, I’ll be the softest, sweetest addition to your home.
