Carol is a unique cat with a queen mentality and a teenager`s attitude. She prefers to keep to herself, making minimal appearances and social effort. If she makes an appearance it`s probably because she`s hungry and is to be fed promptly. As the self-proclaimed inventor of the Resting Hiss Face, Carol exudes great confidence in her appearance. She knows she is a beautiful cat, but she requires you to compliment her anyways. Carol comes off being a bit passive aggressive and will stride through the house like she pays the bills, but she has a soft side too. Once she decides you are worthy of her presence, she will grant you with it. She is looking for a home with an owner that doesn`t mind her judging all of their questionable life choices. An owner that understands they may never be worthy of her attention but will still treat her like the queen she is. Here at the shelter, she enjoyed helping tiny stray kittens without a mom, she was an excellent foster mom! However, she does not possess the patience, nor does she want to share her space with actual children. A little cattitude shouldn`t stop her from finding the right home! We know there`s someone out there who will find her moody demeanor charming! If you think your home meets Carol`s high standards and expectations, please submit an application at www.cchswi.org
