Their Journey to SPCA: Through no fault of her own, Cherry has been adopted and returned twice. Because of this, she is looking for a patient and understanding home that can finally provide her with the long-term stability and security she deserves.

Personality: Cherry is a gentle and affectionate girl who needs a little time to show her true colours. While she may take a short while to warm up, once she feels safe, she blossoms into a very sweet and sociable companion who genuinely enjoys human company. Her resilient and loving nature remains intact despite her past transitions.

Daily Life: Cherry is looking for a home where she can settle in at her own pace. Adopters should expect a gentle companion who, once comfortable, will enjoy quiet interactions and the safety of a stable routine. She thrives when given the time and space to adjust without pressure.

Behaviour & Training

• Behaviour around strangers: She may be initially reserved and takes a short while to warm up to new people.
• Progress made: Despite being returned, she remains a sociable cat who is eager to find her "person."

• Owner Profile: Suitable for someone who can allow her the space to settle in and who is willing to give her the second (and third) chance she truly deserves.

Special Care Requirements

• Licensing: All adopters are required to license their cats at the point of adoption (https://go.gov.sg/petownershipcourse).

Progress Since Rescue: Cherry has shown great emotional resilience after being returned to the shelter. She continues to be sweet and sociable, proving she is ready to transition into a forever home that will not let her go.

Educational Corner - The Importance of Cat-Proof Meshing: It is a common myth that cats always land on their feet; in reality, high-rise falls can lead to devastating injuries or death. Installing secure mesh or grilles on all windows and gates is the most effective way to protect your cat, ensuring they do not "take the fall" for a lack of home safety. Please refer to this article for meshing recommendations: https://spca.org.sg/resources/dont-let-them-take-the-fall-for-you-cats-do-not-have-nine-lives/

Looking for a Perfect Family: With a little patience and lots of love, Cherry will reward her family with unwavering loyalty and gentle affection. She is looking for a family that sees the wonderful companion she is on the inside and is committed to being her final, loving home.
