About Taffy
Taffy is impossible to mistake for another cat—even among a clowder of black cats, that bright white tip at the end of her tail stands out. She's always surveying the action from the highest spot in the room, wide-eyed and intensely curious about every movement, every shoelace, every hoodie string that happens to cross her path. Taffy is most in her element watching as you go about your day, adding a dash of playful mischief with her antics. She isn't quick to melt into your hands, though. Taffy prefers to watch life from a ledge or open shelf, reserving close contact and gentle pats for those she learns to trust. Her best match is a home without young children and with an adopter who won’t mind earning her confidence at Taffy’s own pace. New faces cause her to hide, which has made it tough for her to find a home, but with trust, she will be the most diligent (if slightly aloof) home supervisor you'll meet. Taffy was born on April 1st, meaning she’s an Aries—a sun sign known for independent spirits and bold curiosity, two things she truly embodies. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
