About Tricia

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Tricia was originally scheduled for a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program, but after spending some extra time indoors due to snowy weather, she began to enjoy the comforts of being inside. While Tricia is still on the shy side, she has grown to enjoy gentle petting sessions. Her love for other cats is clear, and she is especially curious about the resident dog. Tricia will thrive in a home with other friendly cats who can help her feel more secure, and she would be comfortable with respectful dogs as well. Born on January 23, her sun sign is Aquarius—so you can expect a cat who's independent, curious, and uniquely charming! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
