My story

🐾 Meet Mirabel — The Independent Redhead Queen 🧡🤍 Mirabel is a stunning orange-and-white beauty with a bold personality and plenty of charm. True to her fiery redhead look, she’s confident, expressive, and knows exactly what she likes — and what she doesn’t. Mirabel is the kind of cat who likes to come and go on her own terms. She enjoys being near her person and will happily curl up beside you at night or keep you company while you relax, but she’s also very clear about her boundaries. Think of her as a companion who prefers quality time over constant hands-on affection. ✨ Her Personality Mirabel is affectionate in her own way. She often chooses to sleep next to her person and enjoys being close, but she’s not a cat who wants lots of full-body petting. Chin scratches are her favorite, and she’ll happily accept attention — until she’s had enough. When she gets overstimulated, she’ll let you know it’s time to give her a little space. She also has a playful side and enjoys batting around toys or exploring the house. And like many orange cats, she’s fascinated by running water and loves sipping from the sink faucet. 🎀 Independent & Full of Sass Mirabel has a fun, sassy personality that makes her entertaining to live with. She likes to explore the house, check in on what you’re doing, and then settle in nearby when she’s ready to relax. 🐈 Her Social Preferences Mirabel previously lived as an only pet, but in foster care she has shown that she can coexist with other cats when introductions are done slowly. She tends to keep her distance and prefers not to interact much with them, so she would do best either: • As the only cat, or • In a home with another calm, respectful cat and a patient introduction process 🐶 Dogs are still a no for Mirabel — she’s made that very clear. 👨‍👩‍👧 Kids & Home Environment Mirabel would likely do best in a home with older children or adults who understand feline boundaries. Because she can become overstimulated with too much petting, a home without very young children would help ensure everyone feels comfortable and respected. 💛 Her Ideal Home Mirabel would thrive with an adopter who: • Appreciates independent, personality-filled cats • Understands feline body language and overstimulation • Enjoys a companion who will hang out nearby rather than be constantly handled • Is happy letting their cat set the pace for affection Mirabel isn’t your typical “pick me up and cuddle me all day” cat — she’s more of a roommate with opinions, charm, and just the right amount of sass. But if you’re looking for a beautiful, entertaining, and loyal companion who will share your space (and your bed at night), Mirabel might be exactly the cat you’ve been looking for. She’s ready for her second chance — and a home that appreciates her exactly as she is. 👑🐾 🆕 Mirabel is also eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt. An approved application is required before we can schedule a meet & greet. Once approved, we’ll work with you to ensure it’s a great fit—and if it’s not, no worries! We’ll help you find the perfect match. All of our cats are adoption-ready and come: • Spayed or neutered • FELV/FIV tested • Dewormed • Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Mirabel, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
