Aphrodite – A Resilient Goddess Who Needs a Little Patience
Aphrodite has already been through more than any kitty should have to endure. She came to us as a stray with a kitten collar that had become deeply embedded in her neck and armpit. Thankfully, she has had surgery to remove the collar and is now on the road to recovery. Most of her wounds have healed, although her armpit still needs a little more TLC. She is ready for adoption with someone willing to continue gently cleaning and caring for her healing wound.
Aphrodite is a very special girl who will need a special kind of home. She is still quite fearful of people and is more of a wallflower than a social butterfly. She is semi-feral and will need someone who understands that trust takes time, patience, and a whole lot of kindness. Approaching her slowly and quietly is important, and she will need a calm, understanding environment where she can settle in at her own pace without pressure to be social.
Her two little ones are currently enjoying some time in foster care while they grow big and strong enough for their spay/neuter surgeries. Now it’s Mama’s turn to find a safe place to land.
Aphrodite may not be the kind of cat who runs to greet you at the door, but she deserves a chance just as much as the friendliest lap cat. If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to let a frightened kitty discover that people can be kind, Aphrodite might just be your girl.
A note for potential adopters: Aphrodite’s healing wound will require continued care, and her fearful nature means she may take considerable time to adjust. She will need an adopter who is comfortable working with a semi-feral cat and allowing her to build confidence on her own terms.
