Carson City's Catmandu introduces their Cat of the Week: Juno

Cleo got adopted after writing her own story two weeks ago, now her sister Juno insists she should be able to write hers as well. In Juno’s words:

“While I still think I should have been adopted before my sister, I’m actually kind of glad she left first. Since she’s been gone, I’ve had all the attention from Linda (Momcat) and everyone that comes in her office. It took me a little while to come out of hiding when we first arrived at Catmandu, but once I got my own space and felt comfortable, I think I’ve blossomed into an incredible little cat.

I admit, I’m a little on the needy side when it comes to pets and affection. Perhaps I should say I am ‘kneady,’ because I love to lay on your chest and knead biscuits. Seriously though, I am a very loving kitty that needs lots of regular love and attention. I love to stretch out on the floor and roll around so that you will rub my belly.
There’s not a mean bone in my body, except when it comes to other cats. I am not a fan of so-called feline friends. I tolerated my sister, but strongly prefer being your only animal and the center of your world. I don’t know how I would do with a cat-friendly dog. I might be okay, or I might be overwhelmed by fear and go into hiding.

I’m just a year old, so I still like to play and investigate crinkly paper and other fun items. I’m a short-haired gray tabby girl with a svelte figure and beautiful greenish gold eyes. I like to chat with you, but not for too long like some cats I know. I’m healthy, spayed and up to date on my shots too. What more could you ask for?

Did I mention, I don’t have to be on your lap every minute of the day? In fact, I will nap for a good part of the day and can amuse myself. But once the workday is over, I am ready for a little undivided “pet me” time. If I can say-so myself, I think I’m a very well-mannered young lady and will bring lots of love and happiness to the family that is lucky enough to take me home.

Our back story is that Cleo and I were adopted as kittens from a shelter into a nice family. Unfortunately, one of the small humans in the household was extremely allergic to us. Then we lived temporarily with a lovely man, but he couldn’t keep us. That’s how we came to Catmandu. I have been here now for 6 weeks! Everyone says the same thing they told my sister Cleo, ‘adoptions have been super slow.’ Believe me, it’s very hard to wait for my forever family to find me. If you are my perfect humans, I hope you come and get me soon. I’m waiting for you.”

If you think you can provide the perfect home for Juno, please complete a pre-adoption application on our website at CatmanduCC.org/adoptions and plan to visit this weekend at Catmandu, 1829 Brown Street. Potential adopters are welcome Friday through Sunday from 11am to 4 pm. Plan to arrive no later than 3 pm so you have plenty of time to spend with him before adoptions close.
