Foster or Adopt Lexie! A Beautiful Tortie with a Unique Personality

Meet Lexie
- Age: 6 years old
- Breed: Tortoiseshell
- Spayed Female

Lexie has been through a lot lately. After her previous owner passed away, she ended up in a shelter where stress took a toll on her. Now, she’s looking for a patient and understanding home that can give her the stability she deserves.

About Lexie

- Independent & Confident: Lexie knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to let you know. She may become reactive when overstimulated or when she doesn’t get her way, so she needs someone who can read her signals and give her space as needed.
- Best as a Solo Cat or with Non-Dominant Cats: She’ll thrive as an only pet, but can also do well with other non-dominant cats, as long as she has a slow introduction.
- Dog Friendly: She’s fine with dogs around, as she generally ignores them.
- Unique Bathroom Habits: Lexie prefers the bathtub as her litter box, making cleanup easy!
- Picky Eater with a Bacon Treat on Occasion: She enjoys her dry food and may indulge in a piece of bacon every now and then.
- Loves Chin Scratches & Bedtime Company: She’ll seek out attention when she’s ready, and likes to sleep nearby for that added sense of companionship.
- Why Lexie Needs You
- Lexie is looking for a cat-savvy home with someone who can respect her boundaries and offer her a calm, understanding environment. She needs slow introductions with any other cats and a family that appreciates her unique quirks.

Ready to Give Lexie a Loving Home?
Whether you can offer her a foster home or are ready to adopt, Lexie will bring a unique charm to your life.
