🌟 Introducing Licorice, a stunning 4-year-old black beauty, and boy, does she have a story to tell! 🎉 With an estimated birthday of January 1, 2022, you can already sense this girl’s sassy flair! Licorice knows just what she likes and isn’t afraid to express it. She’s on the lookout for a home where her fabulousness can truly shine! ✨ Let’s talk about Licorice’s past—a mix of ups and downs that would make anyone’s head spin. Originally adopted from another rescue, she found herself left in the care of a friend when her previous adopter moved. 😥 But wait for it—this friend thought it would be a good idea to put Licorice outside to fend for herself! Now, that is *not* how one treats royalty! Thankfully, our dedicated volunteer swooped in to rescue this gorgeous girl and brought her to a loving foster home until we had space in the shelter. Once she settled in, we noticed something quirky: Licorice would occasionally growl at her own tail! 🐾 Upon checking, we learned that it had been broken in her past. While her tail has healed, she does experience a bit of phantom pain now and then—but that doesn't dim her sparkle! 🌈 Now, who is Licorice? Well, she’s a social butterfly who loves being petted, but she carries herself with the poise of a true diva—a cat who knows she's the queen! 👑 Attention is welcome, but only on her terms. What this elegant gem truly needs is a calm, loving space where her boundaries are respected. Licorice is definitely not a fan of dogs, so it’s important for her to find a home where she can reign supreme, ideally without any little ones running around. However, older kids who get the importance of boundaries? They're a-okay! 🙌 Her ideal companion will understand that a little attitude isn’t a problem—it just shows she knows her worth! And because she sometimes experiences phantom pain, it’s crucial to have someone who can monitor that and work with a vet to manage it if needed. Plus, it’s all good news—Licorice is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and Fiv/Felv negative! So, if you're ready to meet this fabulous girl and let her diva spirit lead the way, make sure to apply to adopt Licorice through the Buddy App today! 🥳💖
