People call me
Penny or winky…People say I’m always winking.
About me
Did you know that only 20% of all Orange Tabby’s are female? I’m a female Orange Tabby and I pride myself on being in great kitty shape.
I’m really good at
Almost everything. But, I guess if I had to pick one thing I’m good at it would have to be snuggling. I’ve been told I’m the best at that.
Some things about me you should know
By now you’ve probably noticed that I have one eye, but mom says that’s what makes me unique! When I was found, I was just seven weeks old and nobody thought I would make it. I was diagnosed with Glaucoma and my eye had to be removed to stop a spreading infection.
I’m looking for
I think I would do well with a person who is a survivor, just like me. Really, all I’m looking for is somewhere I can call my own.
I am currently staying at Purrfect Solutions Feline Rescue. (It’s nice but I’d much rather be your Crib Cat!) If you want to make your house a real crib for me, click on one of the links below for more info. Thank you!

where are these cats all located at and if a person is from a different state how do they adopt the cats
The first worry might be that it is, after all, a laser. We certainly aren’t getting any evil scientist action, since our rugs and our drapes are not bursting into flame. We can barely feel it on our skin. But can it hurt our cat’s eyes, or even someone else’s?
According to the ever handy Wikipedia, the kinds of laser pointers sold as toys are the weakest kind, with power measured in less than one mW (milliwatt.) For lasers up to 5 mW, a human would sustain damage after deliberately staring at it for at least ten seconds.
I was reassured.
While cat’s eyes are more sensitive to light than ours, this would still leave quite a margin of safety, especially if we are careful to keep the beam aimed down, where the cat’s gaze would be directed, when the cat is in close quarters with it.
Of course the cat wants to be as close as possible. Part of what drives the cat “crazy with the red dot” is how the cat can never seem to get the upper hand on this wily prey. RJ got tremendously excited one time when the dot darted into one of my empty slippers. We could see he was certain that, this time, there would be no escape for the dot.
What happened when the cat went to the flea circus? He stole the whole show!
Cats, especially young kittens, are known for their love of string play. Most cats can't resist a dangling piece of string, or a piece of rope drawn randomly and enticingly across the floor. This propensity is probably related to their hunting instinct. If string is ingested, however, it can get caught in the cat’s stomach or intestines, causing illness, or in extreme cases, death.
I think a laser pointer is safer as long as it's NEVER directed into the cat's eyes.
Living with Penny would be like living with someone who always flirted with me through sly winks. LOL! My ego would inflate to the size of a Macy's Balloon!
What did the ginger pirate cat say to man who insulted her? I know you ARR, but what am AYE?! Adopt Penny!
