Birdie

Birdie is a beautiful long-haired tabby with big feelings, excellent boundaries, and a surprisingly soft center.<br/><br/>She’s currently rocking a lion cut to give her coat (and tummy) a break from over-grooming and hairballs. She’s completely unbothered by the haircut (confidence is key). When her full coat grows back, she’ll need brushing several times a week to prevent mats and reduce hairballs. Hairball gel and treats are helpful additions to her routine.<br/><br/>Birdie is shy at first and needs time to feel safe. She may greet new situations with a dramatic hiss, but it’s all talk, she does not bite or swat. She simply has strong opinions and communicates them clearly.<br/><br/>She isn’t a fan of being grabbed or having hands in her space before trust is established. However, once you earn her confidence (food is an excellent strategy), she absolutely melts for a good chin and ear scritch. She has yet to meet a food or treat she wasn’t a fan of! <br/><br/>She enjoys catnip toys and self-play toys, especially electronic ones, and does well with other cats, though she prefers to be the boss lady of the household. <br/><br/>Birdie recently received a clean bill of health and has pristine teeth. At the vet, she tends to freeze and quietly allow handling, which makes appointments surprisingly smooth.<br/><br/>Ideal Home:<br/>* Calm, patient adopter<br/>* Cat-savvy and respectful of boundaries<br/>* Willing to dedicate time to grooming<br/>* Fine as a solo cat or with other respectful cats<br/><br/>Birdie doesn’t give her heart away quickly, but once she does, it’s special. She’s looking for someone who understands that trust is earned and love is worth the wait.<br/><br/>If you’re ready to let a shy, gorgeous queen rule your home, Birdie is waiting! <br/>Please reach out to: ashleyjphillipps@gmail.com
