Bao Bao is a 7-year-old lady with a soft heart, a round little belly, and just the right amount of sass. She was found as a stray and kept safe in a kind person's garage until she could come into rescue, and she has been thoroughly enjoying the indoor life ever since. Bao Bao does have Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), which means she walks a bit stiffly and doesn't get around super well. Because of this, she'll need a low-entry litter box and a home where she can avoid stairs. The good news? She's not bothered by her limitations and does not require ongoing medical care - she just needs an adopter who understands that she moves through the world a little more slowly. And don't worry about her missing out on snuggles or adventures... she's perfectly happy being carried when needed. Personality-wise, Bao Bao is the kind of cat who will always be nearby without being underfoot. She enjoys your presence, keeps you company, and brings a calm, comforting energy to the room without demanding constant attention. Plump, slightly grumbly, a little stiff, and entirely wonderful. As a bonus, Bao Bao received a full spa day when she came into our care - nearly an hour of brushing and pampering - and she tolerated it like an absolute champ. Grace under pressure. If you're looking for a mature, loving cat with excellent vibes, gentle independence, and a heart full of sweetness - and you're happy to meet her where she's at - Bao Bao might just be your perfect match.
