Taffy Domestic Short Hair Mix Beacon, NY

TAFFY is the perfect black cat... except for that little white tip on her tail! We often find her perched on the highest spot she can find to keep an eye on the goings on in the room. She's SOOO curious and wants to know what you're up to. Did someone say shoelaces? Hoodie string? TAFFY is all over it! She'll never let you down with her antics. In other words, she's the perfect pick-me-up. If you're good friends, she might even let you give her gentle pats. She was born in 2016 and she gets along well with the other cats in her room.

TAFFY is extremely shy with new people and will hide when potential adopters visit. For this reason, she's never gotten a chance at a forever home. We don't know that she'll ever be a snuggler, but she would still be a wonderful companion, especially if you have a kitty who needs a buddy. As she gets to know you she likes to follow you and watch from a nearby ledge, but from afar, until you're real friends.

ARF volunteers are happy to talk to you about the personality of shy cats and can even share videos of affectionate behavior you won't see when you visit. We know shy cats don’t show well to potential adopters, but they still have so much love to give and when you become their person there’s nothing quite like that special bond you form.
