No real interest in tower cat scratchers. She adores stuffed toys over noisy ones, catnip, small balls and a tunnel! She enjoys looking out the window, would enjoy a tall cat perch to oversee and loves to resort to her quiet area. She is a smart girl who is fond of a routine. She prefers to be alone and would do best as the only pet in the household. She does not do well with other cats, dogs or children. Her ideal home would be someone who understands her quiet nature, has patience for her to come out of her shell and learn her quirks. She does make some funny facial expressions! Once she is comfortable you may find her curled up on a chair, blanket or human bed.

Adopting a cat in Port Royal

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.
