Story
I’m looking to rehome my 12-year-old cat, a gentle, affectionate soul who truly shines in a calm, peaceful environment. She’s incredibly loving once she trusts you, and she’ll happily sit by your side for companionship and snuggles. Due to changes in our household, we can no longer provide her with the environment she needs to feel safe and secure. She is very anxious around other animals and would do best as the only pet. Additionally, she has a history of marking territory, which has led to consistent peeing on various surfaces in her dedicated space, despite being litter-box trained. This behavior has been difficult to manage and does require careful attention. If you can offer her a quiet, low-stress home without other pets or young children, she has the potential to flourish and be a loyal, loving companion. This is a heartfelt decision, and I hope to find someone with the patience and understanding to give her the specialized care she deserves.

Guayaba is the epitome of "Cat"~ she plays by her own rules and is o.k. with it !! Sometimes she is extremely affectionate, other times shyer and prefers time to herself. She needs to be understood and find the perfect discerning cat owner, to appreciate that she's finicky and amazing.....just the way she is. Once placed in her forever home, Guayaba may show more sides to her complicated personality.
