From Forever Fortunate Felines

There is a saying about old souls: "Old souls feel more deeply, suffer more nearly, see more clearly, love more freely and heal more completely." This is Opal in her entirety. She is a middle aged lady who has seen and been through more than any cat ever should. Living on the streets, losing her kitten to sickness, being adopted then returned, dealing with chronic pain, working through PTSD and still looking for someone to love her furever.With all this hardship, Opal has some wariness when she meets new people, but given some space (and LOTS OF TREATS) she opens up to show her sweet self. Opal adores all kinds of food, but especially kitten food! She loves being brushed and getting all the cheek scratches, and once she has settled in, she loves being carried around like a baby; never wanting to be far from you. She will come on over if you do the "pspspsp" noise and hold your hand out, oor if you simply call her by name. She is ever the curious girl and believes all spots are good spots for a nap. In opposition to her old soul, Opal talks; A LOT! Everything from chirps to moans to meows and even some rather creative use of hissing and growling! But no worries, she isn't mad, she…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
