🌟 Meet the charming Jamie “James” Monroe – the Tiny Tortie President with a mountain of opinions and a hidden soft side! This young tortoiseshell firecracker currently reigns in the presidential suite, sharing her space with the esteemed Thomas Jefferson and a few fellow kitties. Now, James might not be thrilled about humans just yet, but she’s not outright mean; far from it! She's merely in the midst of drafting her own Declaration of Independence from hands. 🐾 When startled or surprised, she delivers the world's cutest squeaky “pffft!” hiss—a warning rather than a threat. With her tail looking like a puffed-up bottle-brush, she majestically retreats to the highest cubby, glaring down at you like a tiny, dramatic monarch. But wait—give her just five minutes, and curiosity will get the better of her. Peeking over the edge with her ears forward, you’ll find her surrendering to her inquisitiveness! 😻 **Current comfort levels (still in the back, un-vetted):** - **Petting:** Not yet—treats from tongs, yes! But actual touch? Still “treason” in her eyes. - **Picking up:** Hard pass—she turns into liquid tortie and vanishes! - **Play:** Secretly adores wand toys and will execute tiny cautious pounces when she thinks no one is watching. - **Other cats:** Seems perfectly at ease with her current roommates, showing interest in new cats rather than fear. A gentle feline friend, maybe even her buddy Thomas Jefferson, could dramatically increase her trust in humans. 🐈 James Monroe needs a calm, adult home where she can thrive with: - At least one friendly cat to show her that humans = good things. - Quiet rooms and ample hiding spots for her to feel secure. - A patient human fluent in slow-blink who celebrates every inch of her bravery! ✨ Give her the low-pressure love she deserves, and watch as this spicy little tortie transforms from a hissy revolutionary into a purring lap-president—head-butting your chin at 3 a.m. and demanding belly rubs like they were penned right into the Constitution! She’ll be spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested, microchipped, and ready to claim her throne once vetting is complete. If you’ve longed to earn the fierce, loyal love of a tortoiseshell who chooses YOU after a campaign filled with snacks and patience, President Monroe is ready to negotiate—one cautious sniff at a time. Extra historic points if she can campaign alongside Thomas Jefferson or any of her founding friends! ✊💖 *Apply to adopt Jamie Monroe through the Buddy App now to start this exciting journey!*
