Still Hopeful

Hi - I’m Chloe. I came to Cat Depot when my owner passed away.

I was 10 years old when I arrived here and I was very excited to meet everyone. I would sit by the door to my suite every day and greet visitors. I looked forward to playtime. Chasing the little red dot was my favorite. And if treats were involved, I would perform backflips! Well…I really didn’t do actual backflips, but I was doing them in my head because I love treats so much. Back then I had such high hopes that I would find my forever human right away.

Over a year later, I’ve still not found my home. And I guess I’m not that same wistful, optimistic cat anymore. The laser toy no longer brings me joy. I keep to myself and I’d rather sleep the days away. There’s less disappointment that way – I don’t have to get my hopes up when someone visits me and then leaves.

Don’t get me wrong. I am appreciative. Everyone has been very nice and accommodating to me during my stay and I’m grateful to have a roof over my head, food to fill my tummy and a warm bed. But it’s really not the same as having a home and someone special to love. I’m not getting any younger and I’m afraid that most people think an 11-year-old kitty is too old.

I may not be a ball of fire, but I’m a quiet girl who enjoys a good chin scratch. I would love to curl up on the couch and snuggle next to you. Are you looking for a companion who is non-judgmental and unassuming? Look no further – I’m here waiting for you.
