I adore cuddling up for a cozy nap or gently batting at a dangling toy with my paw. My friendly nature makes me a great companion, always ready to greet you with a gentle nuzzle. I'm also quite mellow, happy to just lounge beside you while you read or watch TV. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and loving friend, I'm the perfect match. I was rescued with my sister cat, Sister Cat 1. We hang out together, but are not bonded. It would be nice to continue to share a home with her if possible, but not necessary. We look like twins, but I am slightly lighter than her. Let’s make endless memories together!

Adopting a cat in Shrewsbury
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
