Meet Virginia
She was surrendered to the rescue for not having a great quality of life. Other pets in the house were intimidating her pretty hard and I heard she spent most of her time hiding. The owners did the right thing and reached out to find her another home where she can flourish.
She is a bit lacking in self-confidence. She will run and hide every time I go into the kitten room...
But she very quickly comes out and starts to meep at me if I am not paying her attention. She demands quite a bit of petting and head buts and then will go and lay on the floor and proceed to roll around like a bit of a hussy (yes, she is making biscuits)
She had not been spayed so that was done right before I picked her up. I am unsure what happened to her chin, but I know it happened a few days before her surgery so I am confident that the vets took a good look at it. I was able to get a pretty good look at her skin and it has healed up nicely.
She came to me with the name Sketch, but I thought she needed something a little more pizazz. I was calling her Precious for a few hours, but it didn't really work for me. I woke up the morning after bringing her home and I thought about creating this blog post and immediately the song Meet Virginia popped into my head (and it has not left thankyouverymuch) so, Virginia it is. I am a little surprised I haven't named a kitty Virginia yet. I know I had a Ginny, but she was Ginny, so this totally works.
I originally thought she was going to need a lot of time to decompress and to be won over, but really all that needs to be done is for the hormones to leave her body and a little self-confidence building (which has started and she is willing to participate in) so I am guessing she will not be here for long. She is a VERY good girl..
