My story

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

Meet Little, the "little" cat with a big personality! Little is a sweet girl but she does have her boundaries that she needs her new human/s to respect. Little cannot live with any other cats in her next home and she did let us know that she may prefer living with older teens or adults only. Little enjoys playing with wand toys, bird and squirrel watching out the window, and enjoys some casual head, neck, and back pets. Little likes to follow her people around to make sure you remember she is there, and she has a special place in her heart for catnip and greenies brand treats. Little would love to make herself at home with you soon!

Sassy cats are usually confident, intelligent and active. They often don’t like to be held, or have places on their bodies that they prefer not to be touched. When handled or petted in ways they do not prefer, they are likely to swat, nip or bite. They will be happiest in adult only homes or those with older kids who understand cats that have rules and will leave them alone. If they are bored then they may get into trouble and often need extra playtime in order to be their best selves. Sassy cats will go home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for EVERYONE in the home to be happy. Typically, sassy cats are not for first-time cat owners.
