About Moon Pie

Moon Pie is part of the VIP Cats Program, which highlights some of the shelter’s more introverted, long-term residents. Cats like Moon Pie take time to warm up, but once trust is built, they become loyal companions who enjoy gentle pets and quiet company. You won’t catch him seeking out hugs or wanting to be picked up, but he appreciates sincere affection on his own terms. Moon Pie has a gentle, unique personality that flourishes in a stable, serene environment. Some of these VIP cats have close feline friends they can’t live without, and Moon Pie may be happiest with a fellow cat companion. Adopters should have some prior experience with cats and a calm, quiet home. Adoption visits are by appointment only and the reduced $35 adoption fee applies under the VIP program.
