About Trea

Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. Trea is an elegant older gal hoping for a kind soul to shower her with love in her golden years. After her previous person passed away, Trea found comfort with family members until a senior cat foster welcomed her in. Although Trea once lived with another cat in her youth, she’s spent over a decade as the sole pet and seems to thrive when she can bask in undivided attention. She finds true happiness basking in the sun by the window or lounging on a porch, and adores gentle attention and brushing—though she’ll politely let you know when she’s ready for a pause. Once Trea feels at home, she transforms into a devoted lap cat who also loves snuggling up at night. Despite her age, she still has a playful streak, especially when treat-filled puzzle toys are involved. Trea is searching for a patient, understanding adopter who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to adjust to life’s recent changes at her own pace. If you’re looking for a dignified companion who’s still young at heart, Trea might be the perfect match for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
