Cat of the week: Simone

Posted June 30, 2009 at 12:00 pm and filed under Community, Pets.

Simone is a domestic shorthair with a dark brown tabby coat and green eyes. Though all of our animals are special, this 7-year-old is particularly so: She just so happens to be deaf.

Say what? Simone is a domestic shorthair who happens to be deaf.

Simone must have been abandoned, but who could have let such a sweet cat go – especially a declawed cat? Her foster mom says she is very affectionate and playful. Her favorite toy is a red, fuzzy ball that she must think is a mouse. She chases it, and when she catches it, she carries it in her mouth, meowing as if to say, “Look at what I caught!”

Because Simone is deaf she listens with her big green eyes, following her foster mom’s movements. Maybe also due to her deafness, she has a special, sweet, trusting nature. And she does well in thunderstorms!

She loves all humans immediately; other cats, not so much. The one exception in her foster home is a handsome black male cat. She seems to be enamored and is trying to make friends with him.

If you would like to meet Simone or any of our other fantastic felines, contact Paw Prints Animal Rescue either by phone at 919-772-9107 or via e-mail at info@pawprintsrescue.org.
