About Cayenne

Cayenne is a small brown tabby with a hint of orange, born on September 23rd, which gives her the meticulous nature common to Virgos. She’s still quite shy and tends to be skittish, having lived in two different foster homes to help her get used to people. Cayenne is food motivated and, while still cautious, grows a bit braver every day and is slowly learning to seek out affection. She is spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on vaccinations. Cayenne gets along with other cats, but isn’t right for homes with children due to her reserved temperament. She uses her litter box consistently. A patient adopter who will continue her socialization and give her time to bond will be the best fit. Cayenne has two siblings, Clove and Curry, also seeking homes. Arrangements to meet her can be made in Battle Creek, MI. Ready to start a quiet, rewarding journey with her? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
