About Shirley

Shirley is a charming, slightly high-strung little princess who loves to play. She enjoys engaging her spring and ball toys independently and gets excited when someone brings out a wand toy. Although she gets along well with calm older cats and is curious about playing with younger ones, Shirley may thrive best as an only cat, provided she has an abundance of toys for mental stimulation. With her nervous temperament, she’s likely suited for a home with older children and should not be around dogs. When playtime is over, she enjoys curling up next to her human and will happily sleep beside you at night. Shirley's birthday falls on January 6, making her a practical Capricorn. This could be the start of something special, so take the first step today!
