Pearl's Story

Meet Pearl, the cat who will charm you completely-on her own schedule.<br/><br/>Pearl is social, curious, and adorably food-motivated, but she likes to be in charge of her own destiny (she is a *cat* after all). She'll happily curl up in your lap and purr for an hour; she'd just prefer to get there on her own terms rather than being scooped up. She has serious FOMO-once she's comfortable, she wants to be in the middle of everything-but she takes a little time to decide who is trustworthy. So once you earn her affection, and don't worry, you will, she's going to be your little shadow.<br/><br/>She's a classic tuxedo: mostly black with a white chest, white-tipped toes, and one little white dot on her chin-which is exactly how she got her name.<br/><br/>Pearl must be adopted with her "sister" Glitter. If Glitter wears her heart on her sleeve, Pearl keeps hers close-until she decides you've earned it, and then it's yours for good. These two will be a delightful addition to a home looking for a little more spunk and lot more love. <br/><br/>If you'd like to meet them, have your people contact their people by filling out that "apply to adopt" form linked below. Their foster mom will fit you into their busy schedule for a meet & greet. :)
