Paris, Gentle Young Mama Left Behind During Divorce, Needs A Home: Northport Pet Of The Week

NORTHPORT, NY — Paris, a petite young mama with a gentle disposition, is this week’s Northport Cat Rescue Association Pet of the Week. The soft, docile cat was left behind outdoors during a family’s divorce before being taken in by a foster, according to Lora Wild, a volunteer with the rescue.

Wild said Paris was abandoned with her babies when the home situation broke apart.

“When her family fell apart during a divorce, Paris and her babies were tossed outside and left behind,” Wild said. “But Paris didn’t run. She stayed on the property — protecting her kittens and even caring for a few extra little ones who weren’t hers.”

Born around May 2024, Paris is described as sweet and extremely gentle.

“If you’ve ever wondered what pure sweetness looks like… it’s Paris,” Wild said.

In foster care, she has shown herself to be soft, delicate, and affectionate once she feels safe. Wild added that Paris is “the kind of cat who leans in gently once she trusts you and melts right into your hands.”

Because she is quiet and petite, Paris can be overlooked next to more outgoing cats, Wild said.

“But don’t let that fool you — she is full of quiet love,” she noted. “Once she feels safe, she’s a complete mush who just wants affection and a cozy place to call home.”

Paris is spayed, microchipped, litter box–trained, fully vaccinated, and FELV/FIV negative, according to the rescue.
