Henrietta

"I like to curl up for a nice nap !"

Hello.  I’m Henrietta and I’ve been at Cat’s Cradle longer than almost any of the other cats.  Therefore, I have “seniority” and get a very nice room of my own.  In fact, I get “the book room” full of big bookshelves and comfy chairs.  I also have a nice big sunny window.  Sometimes I go on top of the bookcases and at other times I snuggle into a shelf on some cushy pink pillows.

Most of the time I have a very pleasant roommate – always a very laid-back mellow cat who doesn’t cause me any problems.  I’ve had a problem with aggressive cats in the past – they stress me out.  Also, I have a food allergy and need hypoallergenic food.  On this diet I have recovered from a skin issue caused by eating the same food as the other guys here. 

As you can see from my photos, I am exceptionally beautiful and exotic!  Who needs ear flaps anyway, they are only in the way.  Being a white cat, I had a bad spell in the past when I developed cancer of the ear margins and had to undergo surgery and a painful recovery period.  Beverly at Cat’s Cradle took me in and even though I hated the treatment I’m now grateful to her for saving my life. 

I’m very healthy now – in fact robust.  I have thick and luxurious white fur and I love petting.  I don’t mind being brushed, once I get to know the person holding the brush.  The same goes for nail trimming.  Once we get to know each other, you will find me to be quite affectionate.  I need a little time to warm up but then you will find me a warm companion with a charming personality. 

I had an exceptionally nice foster home for awhile and was renamed “Lola”, but the woman was allergic to me and I came back to Cat’s Cradle.  Let me hasten to add that she hated to give me up and no one else has been allergic to me.  It was a rare occurrence and unfortunate for both of us since we had a great relationship.  Now I need a new foster home or, even better, a permanent home.  If you have a very congenial and mellow cat I’d love to join you – or I would really love to be your only cat.

Oh yes, one last thing -- I'm a wee bit hard of hearing but certainly not deaf.  As long as you don't whisper, I'll be fine!

"I like to be comforted and comfortable!"

"Ahh yes, just behind the ear,
ahh, right there !"

"I have unique looks
 and a congenial personality!"
