About Perla

Perla is a calico cat with a sensitive streak. She bonds very deeply with her person and cares a lot about her routine. New or chaotic environments set her off, and if pushed, she’ll stand her ground with hissing or even a swipe. Perla’s person had to give her up due to a hospitalization, so she’s still searching for emotional security. In the right calm adult-only home, she's incredibly affectionate—expect lap time, gentle hand-licks, and plenty of purring when she's happy. If she feels comfortable with you, you’ll see her playful side come out—though her string-toy habit means you’ll need to stow those between play sessions since she tries to eat them. Perla doesn’t mesh with other cats, dogs, or children, so she needs to be your one and only. Some days she’ll crave pets and attention, other days she wants her space. Understanding boundaries is the key to her heart. Fun fact: With a May 1st birthday, Perla’s a Taurus—stubborn, but steady and loving if you earn her trust.
