About Moxy

Moxy is a striking white domestic short hair with golden eyes, around two years old and spayed. She carries herself with calm curiosity and isn’t one to rush into new situations—she’ll quietly observe before getting comfortable. Once Moxy decides she trusts you, she leans into gentle head rubs and will keep you company as she explores sunny spots or snacks on whatever treats she can find—although she does have her opinions on food. Her playful side comes out with toys and window watching, but she values a quiet environment with minimal loud disruptions. Moxy doesn’t care much for wrestling or roughhousing; she’ll do best with other laid-back cats or on her own. She’s good with respectful older kids, but she’d rather not share her space with dogs. For those seeking a cat who’s equal parts affectionate and independent, and who blossoms with patience and kindness, Moxy is ready to choose her person when the time feels right.
