Sunflower is a female, medium-sized orange and red domestic short hair cat living in Springfield, MO. She’s a senior, spayed, house trained, and her vaccinations are up to date. Her short coat is low-maintenance, and though she is FeLV positive, she simply needs extra monitoring and routine care to keep her healthy and comfortable.

About Sunflower

Rise, shine, and hold your head high—Sunflower is ready to brighten up someone’s days. She’s a senior lady (born August 6, 2014), mellow but full of love. Sunflower enjoys gentle brushes and pets but signals when she needs space. She likes retreats: cozy corners or even a private hut where she can decompress, then returns for attention on her own terms. Playfulness still shows through—she adores spring toys, pipecleaners, and rolling on cool floors. Her ideal home is quiet, with a few hideaways she can call her own. Sunflower can tolerate other cats if they respect her boundaries, but she truly thrives as the solo cat—soft independence mixed with a need for calm. She’s tested positive for FeLV, so she’ll need monitoring for her weight, appetite, energy, and occasional vet check-ins. She’ll repay this extra care with a loyal, gentle spirit and a calm presence.
