Meet Muffin, our show stopping girl who is looking for her new forever home! She is on the shy side at first but has made great strides coming out of her shell in her foster home. Her favorite activity is to sit next to you and watch you work from home for the day, or follow you around the house and just be in your company. She has warmed up to pets, so long as they are on her terms is all. Muffin is looking for a nice, quiet home where she can continue to figure out all the joys it is to be a spoiled house cat.
Are you Muffin's new family? You might be if you are an experienced cat owner who can dedicate time to help Muffin socialize and become confident in her new forever home.
