- Beautiful cat that welcomes attention and pets, on her terms
- She really likes being held and will purr up a storm - but will let you know when she wants down
- Her ideal home will be calmer and on the quiet side
- Likes to roll around on the floor and show off her agility!
- She will pick up her cat toys in her mouth, and meow for you to come up and play with her, and also likes to bat at dangly cat toys
- Enjoys her spa time while laying in the bathroon sink in her foster home!
- Looking for a home with patient family members who will give her time to open up and let her take things at her own pace
- Young children are not a good fit for her - she is looking for a home with adults only
- Will need a slow introduction to any cats in her new home - she can co-exist with them, but may be happiest as your one and only
- Her ideal adopter is a cat-savvy person who wants a independent cat with a lot of character to love and care for
This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!
