Meet Cypress, an adult feline who exudes a charming blend of sweetness, calm and shyness. Though she may be a bit timid at first, she thrives in a peaceful environment where she can stay close to you in a semi-secluded spot. Cypress adores the gentle touch of a loving hand and relishes every bit of attention she receives. Her personality is a beautiful paradox - she is shy yet craves companionship, and her love language is quality time. Cypress is not just a cat, but a companion who will bring warmth and tranquility to your home. She`s an exceptional housemate, with neat litter and eating habits and very little sound - unless she needs to get your attention. Because she is without teeth, she only eats wet food. Cypress is one of our Special Care pets meaning she needs a bit more love. Cypress has chronic rhinitis which means during times of stress, she may have mild flare-ups of nasal congestion. This may occasionally require antibiotics when the flare-ups are more severe. Adopt Cypress and fill your home with the sweet, soft purrs of this charming feline companion. Her unique looks, intriguing and loving disposition, and mature lifestyle will make her a wonderful companion in a calm household. She`s patiently waiting for a kind-hearted individual or family to share her love and affection with at Anti-Cruelty.
