About Twitch

Twitch is a tough six-year-old tabby who’s been through more than most cats will in a lifetime. Before landing indoors, she ran the show at a junkyard—chasing mice, ruling her turf, and curling up beneath busted cars. The regulars fell for her attitude and spirit, and after a close call involving a car and a snowstorm, Twitch turned out to be a survivor through and through. Life as an indoor cat has suited her just fine. These days, she appreciates a soft bed, a dependable meal schedule, and the warmth of a quiet home. Twitch likes to keep things simple and low drama. She wants a patient adopter willing to give her time to settle in. As the queen bee, she’s best as an only cat and should go to a pet-free, adult household. Dogs are a no-go, and little ones would probably overwhelm her. She isn’t quick to run up for snuggles, but she’ll let her guard down for chin and belly rubs—especially if you have treats. She’s got a soft spot for playing with lasers and ball toys and finding that patch of sunlight to nap in. Cancer cats like Twitch are known for their resilience and she brings that quiet strength to any home ready to give her the safe haven she craves. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
