My story

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

Cuddly, Easy-going, Real-Life Stuffed Animal

If you're looking for a sweet and cuddly companion, Thistle is the cat for you! This charming girl is gentle, affectionate, and always ready to keep you company. With her big, pretty eyes and plush fur, she looks just like a living stuffed animal when she's still. But once she's in your lap, she's all purrs, snuggles, and sweetness.

Thistle loves to be close to her humans-she'll jump up on your lap whenever you sit down, eager for pets and affection. She doesn't mind being picked up and hugged, either, and will happily settle into your arms for as long as you'll hold her. Her soft meows let you know when she wants attention or a treat, and she'll even call for her brother if they're in separate rooms.

Playtime is also a favorite for Thistle, and she especially loves her foil ball toy and chasing around with her brother, Twinkletoes (APA#113578). These two siblings adore each other and have spent their entire lives together. We hope they will be able to go to the same forever home. Thistle hasn't met other cats, dogs, or children, but with her gentle nature, she may adapt well in a calm and caring environment.

If you're ready to open your heart to an affectionate, charming lap cat, Thistle is waiting to bring endless love and companionship into your life! Consider adopting Twinkletoes too so these sweet siblings can stay together!

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.
