---

- Petite, quiet girl who enjoys being around humans once she settles in her new home

- Playful kitty who likes toy balls, fishing pole toys, and catnip toys

- Likes sitting in a cat tree by a window, especially when it is sunny

- Sometimes enjoys sitting on your lap for scritches and pets and will purr softly if she wants you to continue petting her

-Likes sleeping with you at night, starting at the foot of the bed and gradually working her way into the middle of the bed, snuggling next to your legs

- Has a strong preference for wet food, but does nibble on dry food in between meals, and is always interested in treats. Enjoys drinking from a pet water fountain.

- Does not like loud noises or quick movements - does not get scared enough to hide, but will retreat to a safe distance

- Children are too much for her (calm older kids or no kids preferred)

- Needs to be the only pet in her new home

- Happiest in calm, quiet environment but she does enjoy meeting new people, especially if they bring her treats!

- Settles into a new place within days, but it takes her a few weeks before she feels completely at home, at which point she becomes more affectionate

All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
