My story

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

Friendly, Loving, Entertaining


Please say "hi" to Big Bessie, a recent mom ready to find a home to be hers furever!

Big Bessie is an active girl. She likes all kinds of toys and even enjoys chasing (and catching!) her tail. Several times a day, Big Bessie will also get a case of the zoomies and quickly dart from room to room. After all that activity, Big Bessie gets into a sleepy and affectionate mood. She'll happily snuggle next to you on the couch or in bed. She likes to relax by making biscuits and thinks your lap is the best place to do so.

This silly girl likes to have conversations and has a wide range of chirps that she'll use to share her thoughts with you. And since Big Bessie loves being near her human(s), you will get to hear a lot from her. She's especially chatty in the bathroom where she prefers to accompany you as you go about your routine. Big Bessie is good on her own and doesn't mind being home alone. But when there are people at home, she appreciates having their attention.


Won't you welcome a sweetheart of a cat into your heart? Contact us about making Big Bessie part of your home today!


All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
