About Scarlet

Scarlet arrived at Paw Prints a bit thin, fresh from the hard work of mothering a litter of tiny kittens. She’s done a great job raising them but has made it clear that sharing space with other cats is not her style. True to her namesake, Scarlet O’Hara, she sweeps in with attitude, confidence, and a flair for drama. Around people, Scarlet leans in for affection and isn’t shy about letting you know when she wants another helping of canned food. With her striking calico markings and her spirited personality, she stands out as a cat who knows her own worth. She’s looking for a home where she rules the roost and gets plenty of attention.
