---
- Beautiful girl with soft fur that is mostly gray with silver highlights and a mix of tortoiseshell features especially on her face
- Friendly and affectionate cat that enjoys sitting and sleeping in your lap and getting all the pets
- Playful cat that enjoys fishing pole toys, wand toys, and ball toys
- She has a low-pitched, squeaky meow that she uses to let you she wants attention
- She can have a sensitive stomach and will need to stay on a diet that is specific to cats with a sensitive stomach (more info at ARL)
- Enjoys drinking from a pet water fountain in her foster home but also drinks from a bowl.
- Young, busy children are not a good fit for her, so she is looking for a quiet home with more mature family members
- She will need at least a few days to adjust to her new home, and possibly a few weeks before she feels completely comfortable. During this time, she will occasionally get nervous and will appreciate some alone time in a hiding spot.
- She will thrive in a calm, predictable home environment where she can get attention and affection when she wants it
This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen great progress in her foster home, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!
All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
