About Buttermilk Bonded

Buttermilk runs the show in her catio, despite the serious face she sometimes wears. At 11 years old, she’s seen her share of challenges since surviving a fire as a kitten, but none of that dulled her warmth. Buttermilk was meant for a home that fell through, which brought her to the rescue’s tight-knit cat community, where she relaxes and mothers the other cats—sometimes forming an impressive cuddle puddle. She’s deeply bonded with her only sibling, Pancake, and they need to be adopted as a pair. You’ll usually spot Buttermilk snuggled up with Pancake, often giving her a meticulous cleaning. Over the years, Buttermilk has lost most of her teeth, so she needs consistent access to wet food. She’s loving once she settles in, eagerly seeking out tummy rubs and choosing her moments to climb onto the armrest for attention. She doesn’t care for being picked up, but she’ll always be nearby when she’s ready for affection. Outgoing and affectionate, she perfectly complements Pancake’s shyer ways. With her vaccines and microchip current, Buttermilk weighed 8.5 lbs at her last checkup. She’s ready for a calm, loving home willing to welcome both her and Pancake together. This Aquarius—born 2/17/14—brings brains, independence, and a quirky side, true to her sign. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
