About Violet From The

After three years as the official Lowe’s greeter, Violet has set aside her work vest and is ready for a true retirement. At seven years old, this American Shorthair has grown accustomed to life in the spotlight, but these days she just wants the comfort and security of a calm, predictable home. She thrives on human company, following people room to room, and will reward you with non-stop purring and the kind of quiet companionship only a seasoned cat can offer. If you want a partner for reading, movies, or simply sharing a quiet evening, Violet fits right in. She politely stays on the floor—please, no picking up—and prefers older children who know how to respect boundaries. Violet is fully vetted, spayed, house trained, and up to date on vaccinations. She is not interested in sharing her home with other cats or dogs, making her ideal for someone looking for a devoted, low-maintenance, single-pet household. Violet has been patiently waiting in foster care, hoping for a family who will let her enjoy a peaceful retirement where she can be the center of attention. Ready to start a new chapter with Violet?
