About Munchkin

Munchkin has been waiting the longest at the shelter and has come a long way from her early days hiding from everyone. When she first arrived, she was very withdrawn around humans and stuck to the cat patio for comfort. With time and patience, her trust has slowly grown—these days, she allows gentle petting and calmly takes her medication, which is a big step. Munchkin gets along with other cats and is happiest when she has safe access to the outdoors, like an enclosed porch or a secure indoor/outdoor setup. She’s familiar with using a cat door to go outside and prefers places where she can observe everything at her own speed. Munchkin does not get along with dogs. She’s spayed, house trained, and up to date on vaccinations. Her dream is a peaceful home that understands her shy personality and gives her the space she needs to feel at ease.
