About Mimic

Mimic is a shy cat who takes her time to trust new people, sometimes needing several days or even weeks to truly settle in. Once she decides you’re safe, though, she transforms into an affectionate, playful sidekick. She’ll nap on your bed, curl up beside you, and follow you from room to room, always looking for attention and affection. Mimic has a thing for treats and never turns down canned food at dinner. When she’s not snuggling up, she keeps herself busy scaling cat trees and launching after plastic coils, jingle balls, and toy mice; plastic coils are a must for her. She’s best suited to someone who actually likes “in-your-face” cats, because Mimic is not the type to keep her distance once she’s comfortable. Pair adopters will love that she and her sister Gusty come as a perfect bonded duo. Mimic needs regular brushing thanks to her long hair, and she doesn’t do well with dogs—she can get confrontational if she encounters them. Her best fit is a quiet, calm home with or without older children, and she really needs someone who isn’t startled by a cat with a door-darting habit. No small pets like birds or rodents, either. Mimic is spayed, tested, vaccinated, and microchipped. Ready to start the next chapter in Phoenix, AZ, with someone willing to earn her trust and affection. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
