Happily Homed: Cannoli (Tacocat)

We have an #adoptionupdate from Michele who adopted Tacocat (now Cannoli) in March 2020! They already had Cannoli on their radar when they visited us after seeing her on the CCS website.

“Cannoli has adjusted well. She’s very much attached to us, but she is very shy when we have visitors. Her and our other cat, Joni, still have mixed feelings about each other. For the most part, they co-exist with one and another, but they don’t snuggle.

“Cannoli’s a healthy girl, and she has no issues in the eating and/or sleeping department. She does like to sometimes sing at night, and she will carry one of her toys while she does it. I think it’s her reminiscing about the time she was a mom carrying one of her kittens. She loves her treats, but she’s never been overweight. Her favorite hobby is looking out the window at the birds, bunnies, and squirrels. She likes to have her ears rubbed, and she makes cute chirp sounds while it’s happening. She doesn’t like going to the vet or when we have visitors at our house.

Have you adopted from CCS in the past? We’d love to hear how it’s going! Send us your adoption success stories (and photos!) to be featured in our #adoptionupdate series on social media or on our website.
