About Mouse

Mouse is a petite, striking little cat with wide, expressive eyes and the softest, tiniest squeak for a meow. She sports a faint white mustache, adding character to her delicate features. Even though she's small, Mouse carries herself with a mix of shyness and quiet confidence, and she rarely misses a thing. She tends to keep to herself and chooses when she wants attention—snuggling isn't her main pursuit, though she does have occasional affectionate spells. Observant and clever, Mouse finds ways to communicate her wants—especially when food is on her mind. Mouse lives with her sister, Minnie, but has a distinctly higher energy level. She thrives with opportunities to play and needs a bit more stimulation than her sibling. Mouse would do well with another young, confident cat to keep her busy, as long as the new companion isn't too intense. She’s looking for a home that appreciates an independent spirit—a cat who doesn’t need to be constantly doted on but has a personality all her own. Mouse prefers a home without young children and would be happiest in a calm, adult setting. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
