Poppet came into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. She had a wound on her nose, and was a bit thin, but she was otherwise okay. It’s likely Poppet was not a stray at all, but was dumped outdoors by her owner.
Poppet waited several months at the shelter, and we were finally able to take her in when a foster home opened up. She had become a staff favourite and they were sad to see her leave, but happy that she would be in a loving foster home. Big thank you to HAS staff for caring for Poppet for so long.
Poppet took a bit of time to adjust to being in a new environment, but she was friendly with everyone she met. Her spay surgery went very well, and she healed up perfectly. Poppet is ready to find her forever home!

Here’s a note from Poppet’s foster family:
“We can’t believe there has been such little interest in Poppet! Don’t let her red eyes fool you, she is beautiful! Her greyish markings in all the right places and her snuggly personality makes her a pure beauty! Poppet is a snuggler. If you find her “sweet spots” she will snuggle on your chest for long periods of time. When she’s done or gets startled she will hop away! Poppet is fully litter trained in and out of her pen. She has a large pen but loves to be free roam in our living room area. She does not venture far. When she’s out, full on rabbit proofing needs to be in full affect! She is a chewer and needs plenty of cardboard, toys and mentally stimulating toys to keep her busy! She loves to try to make friends with cats and is very inquisitive. She would do best with slightly older kiddos. She gets very happy and jumps around when she gets out for free roam. She loves to eat fresh vegetables. Some of her favourites are; fresh herbs, celery, peppers, mixed greens and brussel sprouts! Poppet will happily let you cut her nails without too much fuss. The family who adopts Poppet needs to ensure they have patience and can give her time to become the cuddle bug she is – it took 6 months for us. Because she had a very inconsistent start to life after being dumped at a shelter before coming to us, and her unknown life before being dumped, she needs time to come out of her shell. If you’re willing to give her that time, you will not be disappointed!”

Please adopt Poppet!
