Scratch's Story

Meet Scratch: A Queen in Need of Her Kingdom<br/><br/>Scratch is a stunning 4yearold grey tabby with mesmerizing green eyes and the confidence of a seasoned diva. Born around 5/20/2022, she knows exactly who she is—and she’s ready to find someone who appreciates a cat with personality, presence, and a little bit of sass. She’ll greet you when you come home, making sure you know she noticed your arrival. She loves lounging on a cat tree by a sunny window, surveying her world like the royalty she is. Head scratches are absolutely welcome… as long as they’re on her terms. She’s not shy about giving you a judgy glance if you get it wrong, but honestly, it just adds to her charm. <br/><br/>Scratch’s early life was full of love from the children who named her after a character in Stitch & Ai. But when the family went through a difficult divorce, Scratch suffered the consequences. At what started with mistreatment, ended whenshe was put outside—litter box and all. Despite everything she’s endured, she’s still capable of connection, trust, and affection… she just needs someone patient enough to let her bloom again.<br/><br/>Scratch thrives in a calm, quiet environment where she can feel safe. She’s not suited for homes with children or seniors, as she can be swatty when overwhelmed or unsure. What she doesneed is an experienced cat person—someone who understands feline body language, respects boundaries, and is willing to give her the time she needs to settle in and trust again.<br/><br/>❤️ Why She’s Worth It<br/>Scratch may not be the cat who instantly melts into your arms—but she will be the cat who chooses you. And when a cat like Scratch chooses you, it’s a bond built on patience, respect, and genuine love. If you’re the kind of person who appreciates a cat with depth, personality, and a story—and you’re ready to offer her the gentle, stable home she deserves—Scratch is waiting for you.<br/><br/>Scratch is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and Fiv/felv negative. <br/> <br/>If interested please fill out an application at: 1by1catrescue.org
