Cat of the Week: Hopey in Baltimore

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! There’s no better time to welcome an older cat into your home.

Each week in this space, we feature an older adult or senior cat (7 years +) in need of adoption or sponsorship. Mature cats make great companions, and unlike kittens, they (probably) won’t climb the curtains! Adopt an older cat, and help them enjoy the best years of their life.

Today, we’re introducing Hopey, a 7-year-old black-and-white lady who has such unique markings on her cute face. We think she looks sort of like her paw slipped while she was applying mascara around her right eye. And she has a cute little stump tail too! Hopey had trouble adjusting to all the stresses of the shelter, but thankfully she has been able to go to a foster home where she can settle in in peace. She does like to snuggle on someone’s lap, and she enjoys getting butt scratches. She has lived with a dog and a child before.

Hopey is currently in a foster home through the Baltimore Humane Society. Learn more about her here.

Can’t adopt? You can still help! Check out Sammy’s Cat Necessities Fund, which provides money for everyday and medical needs of cats at the Baltimore Humane Society. You can also make a general donation or sponsor a particular animal on this page. Every little bit helps!
