About Folklore

Folklore is a large adult Domestic Short Hair with striking black and white fur, currently about 2 years old and living in a foster home in Fairfax Station, VA. She’s thoughtful and prefers calm, quiet spaces, often gravitating toward cozy cat beds or quietly playing with her favorite laser pointer. Loud noises and sudden movements aren't her style; she’d rather skip busy house parties and homes with small children. Folklore truly comes alive around other cats—she's happiest cuddling up with her siblings or her buddy Blossom, and she must be adopted as part of a pair. She’s not suited to a household with dogs. If you’re slow and gentle, she may let you in on her reflective moods, but she’ll clearly communicate when she needs space. Folklore is spayed and vaccinated, and the adoption fee covers both her and a bonded mate. Give this black-and-white Swiftie a chance if you want a wise, cat-social companion who thrives in mellow homes. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
