My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Buffy was brought in by her previous owner on November 21, 2024.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Buffy, a striking and independent feline with a unique personality and an equally unique set of needs. Buffy's journey has shaped her into the special cat she is today, and she's looking for an equally special human to appreciate her quirks and give her the stability she deserves. Upon medical exam, it was discovered that Buffy had dental disease, so we had to remove a few teeth. She's healing well and is ready to go home! Though she has a history of strong feelings about her environment and boundaries, her behavior has improved significantly with the right housing setup and a bit of time to settle in. Buffy thrives as the sole pet in a home-she's a proud member of the "No Cats, No Dogs, and No Kids" club. Her history includes redirected aggression in a multi-cat household after spotting an unfamiliar cat outside, so she requires a space where she won't encounter other cats, including neighborhood or community cats. Her ideal setup might involve strategic use of blinds or curtains to help her feel safe and secure. While she hasn't had experience with dogs, a pet-free environment is highly recommended to meet her needs. Patience and respect will go a long way in helping Buffy adjust to her new home. She'll benefit from gentle bonding over treats, meals, and interactive play rather than forced handling. A top-loading cat carrier is a must for this gal to ensure a safe and stress-free journey home, setting the tone for a positive transition into her new environment.
