– Such a pretty cat with a fun personality!

– Very playful girl who loves to play with wand toys and anything that she can bat around on the floor

– She takes pets well and loves running back and forth after she gets her treat in the morning

– She’s not very talkative but does let you know when she wants cuddles – cuddles are dictated by her, as she does still get a bit overstimulated and will let you know when she needs a break

– Loves her multiple scratch pads!

– Young, busy children will likely be too much for her, so she is looking for a more mature home

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!

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