Hi, I’m Tattle—a gorgeous large-patch tabby lady around 6–7 years old, with plenty of curiosity and personality to spare. I’m looking for a quiet home where I can be the star of the show. I don’t want to share the spotlight with other cats, though I have lived with a small, calm dog before and might be okay with the right one. Mostly, I just want a peaceful home without small children, where I can relax and be myself. My story started when I was trapped, spayed, and supposed to be returned outside as a kitten. But I had other plans. I kept trying to get back into houses because I knew I was meant to be an indoor cat. Eventually, I was brought into rescue and found a home where I stayed for six years. Unfortunately, things changed when two small children were added to the home. They may not always have been very kind to me, and there was also a man in the home who wasn’t much of a fan of mine. Because of that, I can be a little slower and more cautious about trusting men at first. Once I feel safe, though, I warm up beautifully. I became very stressed and started reacting to all the chaos around me. Now, I take one little pill each day to help with my anxiety—and I take it like an absolute champ. No fuss at all. Since coming into foster care, I’ve had the chance to decompress, and my confidence and true personality have come shining back. I’m playful, smart, and very interested in whatever you’re doing. I enjoy attention—but on my terms. I like people who understand that sometimes I want head scratches and company, and sometimes I just want to supervise from nearby. I’m looking for a cat-savvy person who appreciates a girl with opinions, boundaries, and a lot of love to give once she feels safe. If you’re patient and willing to let me settle in at my own pace, I think we could be very happy together. Tattle is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org. Adoption fees are as follows: $175 for a single cat or kitten, $225 for a pair of cats or kittens. When adopting a cat from AHSEM the adoption includes spay or neuter surgery, age appropriate core vaccines, microchipping, combo tested (for FIV/FeLV), and basic wellness care including deworming and flea treatment.
