About Sharpie

Sharpie is a striking black cat with wide golden eyes, quietly observing from a safe spot as she feels out her surroundings. At nearly 3 and a half years old, Sharpie has a gentle heart that’s taken its time to heal—she’s shy, especially in new places, but patience and soft encouragement help her come out of her shell. She’s selective with her affection. Don’t expect her on your lap just yet, but bring out some treats or a favorite toy and her curiosity surfaces. Sharpie loves the company of other cats and feels most at ease when she has a calm, feline friend nearby. Too much noise or sudden movements will send her looking for a hideaway, so a quiet, steady home suits her best. Sharpie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and reliably litter box trained. She will do best in a patient home with another gentle cat and without small children, where she can continue to gain confidence on her own terms. Born October 5, she’s a Libra—so when she finally trusts, she brings surprising harmony and sweetness. Give her the space and quiet she needs, and Sharpie will bloom in her own time.
