About Matilda
If you've ever dreamed of adopting a senior cat with an outsized personality, Matilda (also known as Tilly) checks every quirky box. She's the kind of floof with just two teeth left, moderate asthma, mild IBS, and a reputation for giving other cats a hard time—basically, she prefers being an only cat. Matilda is a mashup of snuggly sweetness and chaotic mischief: her meow is somewhere between a screech and a cackle, and she’s never shy about demanding her dinner at full volume. Despite all that attitude, she will absolutely smother you in affection, especially when she’s parading around with her favorite toy, ready for a cuddle that will warm you up in an instant. Matilda’s asthma is controlled with oral steroids (she takes them like a champ in a pill pocket), and her stomach issues are manageable with specific wet and dry food. While she’s lived with other cats, her strong personality means everyone is happier—including her—when she’s the center of attention. Any adopter should plan to stay in touch with her vet to keep her as sassy and healthy as possible. Life with Matilda won’t be boring—you’ll laugh a lot, and you might lose some snacks or heirlooms to her dramatic antics. Born April 1st, Matilda is an Aries: no wonder she’s a force of nature. She’s in Reisterstown, MD and waiting for the right person to be her one and only. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
