- Love cats with lots of personality? Check this girl out!
- Active, playful cat who plays fetch and loves wand toys; looking for people willing to play with her often and give her plenty of fun things to do
- Likes lots of attention, but prefers to make her own choices when it comes to handling and affection; when she's feeling lovey, she may sit on your lap or cuddle next to you for a while, but she also really values her independence, so if you are looking for a cat who won't always want to be on you, she might be great!
- An excellent communicator through body language; will do best with mature, cat-savvy people who will read and respect her signals and just let her be her sassy cat self!
- Likes to rub on legs and playfully pounce, so she's looking for a household where everyone is steady on their feet
- Can be a rowdy player and is probably not the best choice for young kids at this time
- Has historically not been a fan of other cats and will likely be happiest as your one and only; if you do have another cat, please plan on a very slow introduction to set everyone up for success
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!
