About January

January is a striking calico with a strong personality and plenty of opinions. She definitely prefers things on her terms and won't hesitate to remind you who's in charge. Despite her sass, she's affectionate and enjoys headbutts and scritches—just be prepared to read her signals and give her space when she asks. January will thrive with someone comfortable and experienced with cat behavior, particularly recognizing cues when she's had enough. She's not a great fit for homes with small children, but she can settle in with patient adults who respect her boundaries. A quieter home where she can have her own room to decompress at first will set her up for success. While January might do best as the only cat, she could join a multi-cat household if the adopter is experienced with slow introductions and giving cats proper territory. She needed some time to settle in initially, but once she trusts you, she offers genuine affection. January is spayed, tested negative for FIV/FELV, and her vaccines are current. Give a home to a cat who will keep you on your toes and amuse you daily. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
