Laverne is a long-haired tabby who lights up a room with her fluffy, velvety coat and round, chipmunk cheeks. She’s got plenty of personality—lively and curious during play, especially when a Cat Dancer toy appears—but mostly you’ll find her lounging calmly around her space, content to observe. She welcomes attention and loves pets, though she’s not big on being picked up and keeps all four paws planted on the ground. Laverne’s journey hasn’t been the smoothest: after a promising adoption, ongoing friction with a resident small dog brought her back to the sanctuary. With people, though, she’s affectionate and trusting. She prefers measured affection, offering her heart most easily when you’ve got the right toy in hand. While still settling in, she’s expected to coexist nicely with other cats, especially if given her own comfortable spot. Laverne would probably thrive as the only pet, soaking up all the love and fun to herself, but she should do well with respectful kids. The right adopter will appreciate her mellow nature with flashes of playfulness. Cat Dancer toy required. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
