This dainty lady isn't afraid to get down and dirty to play, even with cats twice her size! While her spirit is admirable, her most striking physical feature is the white heart on her chest.

Joy is adaptable, curious and ever so slightly suspicious of dogs, despite being raised with one.
While not afraid of them, she is prone to offering them a particular degree of side-eye.

Her ideal home would be one with places to explore (a cat tree or tunnel would be much appreciated) and a furry friend to play with.
