Licorice

Meet Licorice, a 3-year-old domestic short hair with a sleek little 6-pound frame and a personality that’s… developing. Like her namesake, she’s not for the faint of heart. She’s subtle. Sophisticated. An acquired taste. And once you’re hooked? You’re hooked for life.<br/><br/>Licorice is shy and cautious, the kind of girl who prefers to assess the room from her throne atop the cat tree before making any major social commitments. She believes in quality control when it comes to humans. You want her love? Wonderful. Please submit your application in the form of patience, calm energy, and possibly a few well-placed treats.<br/><br/>At the shelter, we haven’t yet seen her full sparkle. She’s been more “mysterious indie film heroine” than “rom-com lead.” But make no mistake—there is more brewing beneath that reserved exterior. She doesn’t want to just be a quiet observer forever. She wants a safe space where she can unfold at her own pace and show the playful, affectionate girl we know is in there.<br/><br/>Licorice isn’t aloof—she’s discerning. She’s not hiding—she’s waiting. And for the person willing to earn her trust, the reward will be a bond that’s deep, loyal, and just a little bit deliciously sweet.<br/><br/>Licorice is ready for her forever home since she is chipped, vaccinated, spayed, vet-checked, and tested FeLV/FIV negative.<br/><br/>Want to meet her? Please fill out our application at azhartt.org/adopt<br/><br/>Requirements include meeting everyone in the household and a complete home check. Adoption applications are approved on a best-fit basis.<br/><br/>We do not do out-of-state adoptions.<br/><br/>Licorice is an indoor-only cat who needs a family to keep her safe inside.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $150
