Gracie Mae #total-love-bug Tabby & Domestic Short Hair Mix Houston, TX

LOVES TO CUDDLE AND MAKE BISCUITS

DOB 6/27/23

Hey there, everyone! I'm Gracie Mae, a sweet, friendly, and cuddly "tuxedo torbie," a.k.a. grey tabby with peach-tabby patches and white-tuxedo markings. Don't you love my "Liz Taylor" beauty marks on either side of my nose? I love to be in Foster Meowmy's lap or snuggled next to her, and I either roll over to ask for a belly rub or make biscuits to express my delight at being close to her.

I showed up as a friendly stray in the neglected community-cat colony at Foster Meowmy's apartment complex. Like a little furry bodyguard, I followed residents around the courtyard and greeted them upon arrival by escorting them from their car to their front door. I was obviously someone's misplaced or abandoned pet because I would lie in the lap of anyone who sat on their porch.

I was begging someone to take me inside and saying, "Please be my hooman!" I got no one's attention until, barely more than a kitten myself, I started showing that I was pregnant. Thankfully Foster Meowmy brought me inside, and at eight months old, I delivered my litter of five in her bathtub.

How relieved I was to be off the streets and to live the good life indoors again. Although I get along great with the large resident dogs, I've remained in the "protect-my-newborns-from-predators" mode and can be aggressive with the resident cats. I've been a wonderful momma to my five little "beans," and now that they're weaned, I've permanently retired from being a doting momma. I've re-discovered how to be a playful teenage kitty, and I adore being "footloose and fancy-free" by kicking any toys that crinkle.

Now I'm ready to find a loving home of my very own, so I'm wondering if that could that be with you? We'd both be blessed because you'd get a love bug for a pet, and I'd get my very own hooman(s), whom I truly deserve. True confessions: I've proven to be a queen bee, so I'll welcome any attention and spoiling that you want to lavish on me.
