About Celeste
Celeste has a big presence and just as big a heart. Sheās got the curiosity of a dogāsheāll sniff your hand before deciding if itās time for pets, generally motivated by the hope of a treat. At night, sheās been known to curl up on your pillow, purring so deeply it lulls you to sleep. Chasing a laser pointer, basking in the sunlight, or keeping tabs on her foster parents from the nearest perch are some of her favorite ways to spend the day. Sheās chunky but lively and loves to be near her people, often following from room to room. Celeste is all about gentle affection, though sheās shy at first and needs patience to settle in. Once she warms up, sheās a loving companionāseeking head rubs on her cat tree or rolling for belly scritches after a bit of catnip. Sheās vocal when it suits her, letting you know (in her own irresistible way) if she wants something. Tennis on TV apparently gets her attention. Sheāll stick close, happy to share space with her favorite humans. Celeste needs a calm home with an experienced adopter who understands sheāll need time to adjust. Older, cat-savvy children are fine, but she must be the only catāsheās happier that way. Celeste was severely overweight when she arrived; sheās on a strict calorie-controlled, mostly canned food diet, and this will need ongoing commitment and monthly weigh-ins. A pet scale will come with her. Sheās made good progress but must stay on her plan for long-term health. Celeste is adoptable only in the DC metro area: DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.
