Birdie is a long-haired tabby with big feelings and clear boundaries, but there’s real softness under her regal exterior. She’s currently sporting a lion cut to help with over-grooming and hairballs—a look she wears with unshakeable confidence. Her full coat will require several brushings a week, plus anti-hairball gels or treats as part of her routine. At first, Birdie is shy and may greet new situations with a dramatic hiss. She doesn't swat or bite—it’s just her way of letting you know where she stands. Earning Birdie’s trust takes patience and respect for her space. Once you do, you’ll quickly realize she’s a sucker for chin and ear scritches, and especially anything edible. She’s food-motivated and has yet to meet a treat she didn’t like. Birdie enjoys catnip and electronic toys and does well with other cats, as long as she gets to be the boss. She sails through vet visits—she simply freezes and lets the staff do their work. Birdie’s ideal adopter is calm and cat-savvy, willing to invest time in grooming and boundary-building. She would do well as a solo cat or with other respectful feline housemates. If you appreciate a cat who needs patience and offers rare affection in return, Birdie might just be what your home needs. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
