About Myrtle

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Stunning Myrtle is a very special girl. She is a chill cat who loves to spend her days watching birds from her favorite window and napping in a cozy bed right beside it. Myrtle is quite partial to churu treats and adores her scratching post. Since she has a lot of anxiety around other cats, Myrtle truly needs to be the only kitty in your home to feel comfortable and safe. Though her past was tough, and she can still be shy, she is learning that gentle humans mean kindness. Sometimes Myrtle may duck away from your hand as if uncertain what to expect, but when she feels safe, she enjoys neck scratches and will even roll on her back, belly up, inviting more affection. Her fur is exceptionally soft—some say it’s the softest they’ve ever felt. Let Myrtle know she’s finally home and help her discover a world where she’s loved for exactly who she is. Fun fact: As an Aquarius, Myrtle is an independent thinker who enjoys observing the world from her favorite sunny perch. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
