About Pearl

Pearl is a soft, snowy ball of fluff looking for a quiet home to call her own. At about 8 years old, she’s FIV-positive but healthy, with recent labs and a clean bill of health. She was found as a stray but was already spayed and is now microchipped, ready for a new chapter. Pearl enjoys a calm daily routine and has her own sweet habits, like chasing her laser pointer in the evening before curling up for the night. She startles easily and may give a gentle nip or swat if caught off guard, so she’ll settle best with patient, cat-savvy adopters. In her foster home, she’s lived peacefully with two other cats—there are occasional hisses but no real trouble—so she could live with a calm feline companion or be content as the only cat. Pearl brings a resilient, gentle, and quietly playful energy. She just needs a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. Click apply to start the adoption process.
