Phoenix gives off definite angry tiger vibes at first glance, but it’s all a ruse—she’s anything but fierce. This shy long-haired girl has perfected the resting grump face, but her personality is all heart. Phoenix absolutely adores hanging out with other cats (she’ll headbutt them for company) and really blossoms around feline friends. Give her some time to settle in and she’ll reward you with funny prancing, high-pitched squeaks, and some surprisingly irresistible dancing. She prefers when her people get down to her level rather than looming above, often choosing to snuggle nearby when you’re lying down. Phoenix gains her courage from having a buddy by her side, so she’ll only be adopted with her companion, Kerouac—they’re a devoted pair. If two bashful cats finding their courage together sounds like your speed, Phoenix and Kerouac may be the duo for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
