About Pixie

Pixie is an eight-month-old, medium-haired calico who has been through more than her share. She's missing a tail and half an ear from an old injury, but none of that stops her from being affectionate and adorable. Her personality is sweet when she lets her guard down, and she really thrives on gentle attention. Because of her injury, Pixie has continence issues and doesn't consistently use a litter box, so her adopter must be comfortable with extra cleanup. She falls into the special-needs category and will do best with someone who can focus on her loving spirit, not the mess. Pixie is unforgettable in all the ways that count—quirky, loving, and eager for a patient person to make room for her. If you have a big heart and the willingness to care for a perfectly imperfect cat, Pixie just might be your most rewarding companion yet. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
