My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Description

Empanada is unique not just for having extra toes, but also because she is so UBER-Friendly and laid back. She is amazingly trusting and loving.

Personality

Empanada is so easy-going that she will just walk into your house and settle in instantly, as if she has always lived there. She is so cuddly and affectionate that you won’t lack for lots of kitty love. She lets any stranger pick her right up and hold her, and she doesn’t care about other cats. She will go right up and snuggle with your dog too. She likes to lie in the smack center of the floor to make sure everyone knows she is there, and to be in the literal middle of the action. She has FOMO and isn’t afraid of anything, even feet stepping over her. She doesn’t even react if you accidentally step on her tail. She has street smarts and trusts her instincts, has never met anyone who isn’t her friend. But don’t think that she isn’t submissive, because she still is patient and polite, and gives other pets their space if they need time before they trust each other.

Background

Empanada and her 5 kittens were living outdoors in an apartment complex, being fed by residents before she was surrendered to a GNAR foster home. They called her “taco cat.” She had been there for many months, long enough to have had more than 1 litter of kittens. Her kittens almost all look just like her, except that they only have the normal number of toes. They all have the same outgoing and confident personality of their mother too. They look like they may be part Abyssinian with their distinctive tabby patterns.
