When you meet Tiny, you will immediately notice two things about her: her petite physique and her uncanny resemblance to a Maneki Neko, the Japanese cat with its big eyes and waving paw. This figurine is thought to bring luck (fortune and/or money) to its owner. Tiny is the PAWS version of the Lucky Cat. She is sweet, petite, adorable, and the omen of wonderful things to come for all who are near her.
Tiny came to PAWS from a difficult situation. She lived with her first family from birth. But, when they adopted a dog, it terrified Tiny. So she was banished to the basement, where she lived for many years. When PAWS came to meet her, poor Tiny was scared, dirty, and depressed.
Now that Tiny is safe with her dog-less foster family, this lucky cat is really coming into her own. She has cleaned her beautiful coat and gained the confidence to sit out in the open and enjoy gentle petting. She also loves being brushed. At night, Tiny likes to cuddle with you on the bed. If you are watching TV, Tiny wants to be on your lap or beside you. Most exciting of all, Tiny is once again enjoying playtime! The laser pointer is her current favorite toy. It is very exciting and gratifying to watch Tiny return to being the sweet and loving animal she was born to be.

Tiny is a wonderful example of a Lucky Cat. Freed from her harsh circumstances, she has blossomed into a beautiful and charming feline. While Tiny should not go to a home with a dog or with other cats, she will thrive in a quiet environment with an adopter or adopting family that has the time and patience to follow her lead and allow her to settle in and trust. Cats like Tiny are special because once they feel your love, they will bond closely and be a friend for life. If that is not lucky, what is?
