About Sunset

Sunset lost her home after her family was evicted, and judging by how she first arrived, it seemed like that was all she’d ever known. She started off reserved, but once she settled in, her loyal nature came out—she spends every evening curled up on her foster dad’s lap, tucking her head under his chin, eyes closed, purring like there’s nowhere else she’d rather be. If the petting breaks, she’ll quietly remind him with those big, sad eyes. Sunset is all about closeness on her own terms; she warms up to new people but doesn’t want to be picked up or carried. That makes sense considering her past—she feels safer when things are predictable. She gets along with respectful kids and is fine around other cats and dogs. Being born in early September, she’s a practical, down-to-earth Virgo. Ready to offer steady company in Muskegon, MI, Sunset is looking for someone patient who understands how to simply share space and a little bit of peace. Your new best friend is just one click away.
