About Sketch

Sketch is a regal, sweet senior cat who’s earned every one of her 15 years. Watch for her single white whisker—a quirk you won’t forget. At this age, she’s past the chaos and prefers a calm, adult home where she can enjoy her routines and claim a snuggly spot near her people. Sketch arrived after her previous family struggled with litter box issues, but since settling in, she hasn’t shown those same behaviors. Her early lab work flags mild kidney changes, so her adopter should be mindful, but nothing too unusual for a cat of her years. She’s never lived with other cats and keeps her boundaries clear; she values her space and will vocalize or shoo away others if pushed. Human company is a different story—Sketch is playful for her age and stays close with a bit of a bounce to her step, always seeking your company. She’s best as the only cat. Give her a window to birdwatch and a place to settle in for a long cuddle, and she’ll flourish. She’s ready to bring warmth and spirit to someone who appreciates the calm loyalty of a seasoned companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
