Whiskers

My story

Whiskers is a gentle and quiet soul, with a touch of timidity. We say almost timid because while she may pull away when approached, she’s not fearful or skittish—just a cat who values her personal space. She’s not the type to seek out cuddles or enjoy being held, but she’s calm and composed, preferring to quietly observe the world from a cozy perch. That said, Whiskers has done wonderfully with kids who understand to let the cats come to them and not to force affection, no hissing, scratching, or biting, just some polite squirming to say “no thank you.” Ideally, Whiskers would thrive in a calmer home without very young children, but she can adapt if the kids are respectful of her boundaries. Just keep in mind that she’s not a lap cat—she’s more of the regal type who prefers to lounge at the end of your bed or sunbathe in the window, looking absolutely stunning. She lived peacefully with a big foster dog who has since passed, often curling up next to him, so we believe she'd do well with respectful dogs. We currently have 10 cats, and while she’s not particularly playful with them, she coexists beautifully—no drama, just quiet grace. With the right environment and patience, it’s very possible Whiskers could grow into a more affectionate companion. Whiskers is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, routinely treated for fleas and worms, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV and heartworm. Her estimated DOB is 1/5/2023. All cats/kittens come with 30 days of free post-adoption support to Petcademy's team of trainers and behaviorists, as well as access to online materials to help settle your new furbaby into your home.
