About Welcome

Welcome is nearly five years old and hopes to celebrate her next birthday in a home of her own. She isn't your average cat—her personality runs strong and a bit quirky. Welcome feels fiercely about some things: she's firmly anti-cat and absolutely does not want to share her space with other felines. She also isn't a fan of being picked up and makes her boundaries clear. Welcome lives with anxiety, which shows up in the form of tail-chasing and being vocal. She's on two daily medications to help manage her stress, so her new adopter must have a vet relationship to keep her supported. The staff will talk you through her routine and what to expect. Because of her quirks, Welcome is better in a quiet home without children—at most, respectful teens. She'd like to be your one and only animal companion. Once she's comfortable, Welcome is a genuinely sweet soul who offers rewarding company. Give her a stable, calm home and she'll settle in to be a loyal friend. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
