—

– Very affectionate with her people; purrs pretty much nonstop, makes soft biscuits, and gives lots of kisses when you pet her

– Greets her foster family eagerly when they come home, and loves to be their shadow and sprawl out wherever they are

– Loves playing with pom-poms and will even bring them back to you if you throw them

– Enjoys her beauty sleep after some playtime

– Likes to window-watch, specifically for birds

– Is quite the foodie – when there’s food around, personal space is at a zero and she’s a lot like a dog eagerly hoping for something to fall

– Prefers most days to be quiet and calm, but she has done well with visitors to her foster home; as long as they give her attention, she’s happy

– Would prefer a quiet retirement with no young kids or other pets – she lived with a dog and cat in her foster home and was not a fan

– This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Please click here to read more about helping cats with overstimulation thrive.
