Sunshine Tabby & Domestic Short Hair Mix Blaine, MN

ESTIMATED DATE OF BIRTH: 04/14/13

** Experienced cat lover preferred**

Hello!!! My name is Sunshine! In my foster home I live with other kitties but I don't always get along with them, especially the girls, it really all depends on my mood that day! I have lived with two big, energetic dogs since I was little so I'm used to having them around. As long as they are respectful of my space, we are cool. I will rub and love on my doggy friends who are nice to me but I don't like dogs who chase me! That's scary!!!! Almost as scary as loud, bouncy little humans. I have only seen the mini humans a few times, but they are loud and scare me. I would really prefer a more quiet home as I can be a little shy and easily startled by loud noises. Speaking of homes, lets talk about the purrfect home for me!
My "dream home" would include a nice cozy window seat where I can sit in the sunshine and watch the world go by .. also, a lot of scratching posts! I LOVE scratching cardboard and rope posts! My "dream home" should not have kids, they really scare me. As I said before, I am very shy. I really don't want to be picked up and held, but I do like to be pet and loved, on MY terms. When I want attention, I purrrrrr very loud and become very vocal. My foster mom says I have a very pretty voice. Please be patient with me, it takes some time to earn my trust and see my true purrsonality. I am really curious to meet you but still a bit cautious and unsure about new people.
I have some "quirks" that some people find charming but others may not like these things about me. That's fine, I want to be honest! I may have a this tendency to suck on fleece blankets, sometimes causing holes in them. I also nurse on myself when I get really excited, causing a little hair loss around my nipple. I have always done this, I'm not sure why. I REALLY do not like being picked up and held, so nail trimming can be a challenge if you are not experienced. My foster mom is pretty good but sometimes I like to give her a hard time! I also like to remove all the stuffing from toy and eat it so to be safe I'm not allowed to have them… People are no fun with their rules!
Overall I am a pretty mellow girl who occasionally likes to run around the house like a maniac. I especially love to chase the laser pointer! That red dot makes me CRAZY! I am pretty playful in general especially if you have fun, interactive toys that move. Baton toys with feathers and a bell are my favorite toys to chase and pounce on. I absolutely love to hunt, in fact, I am an expert bug catcher! No bug stands a chance when I'm in the house!!! I am such a pro, I can catch a fly right out of the air!!! You should see how high I can jump. If you adopt me, I will show you once I settle in and become comfortable!
Her adoption fee includes her spay surgery, microchip, Rabies & PRC (distemper) vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV test.
