About Churro

Churro is a gentle, quiet cat with a sweet presence. At about a year old, she prefers cozying up in a soft bed and snoozing in the calm spots of your home. She may need a little patience at first, but once she feels safe, she relaxes into cuddles and becomes a soothing companion. Churro has a playful streak, especially when it comes to chasing springs or toy mice. She loves climbing her cat tree and keeping an eye on everything happening around her. She gets along well with other cats, sticking close to her foster siblings, and truly enjoys their company as much as she values time with people. Churro has a sister named Biscuit; they’d love to find a home together, but either one would thrive as a solo pet too. Churro is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, de-wormed, negative for FELV/FIV, and microchipped. She’ll bring calm and affection to any home lucky enough to have her.
