About Fava

Some cats don’t march in—they slip quietly into your day and, over time, your heart. Fava keeps to herself at first, cautious and gentle. She’s been called 'unadoptable,' but anyone with a soft spot for shy cats knows that label never tells the full story. Fava gravitates toward patient, experienced cat people who let her set the pace. She doesn’t seek out lots of petting and isn’t a typical lap cat. But if you shake a treat bag or softly call her name, you’ll see her curious side—coming close to observe and be near you. She’d rather share space than snuggles, especially if background music is playing or there’s a quiet corner to hang near her person. There’s a playful side, too: Fava enjoys wand toys and carries her treasures around, one of her endearing quirks. She does best in calm homes with no young children and prefers other mellow cats—especially gentle males—to share her territory. If you have patience and respect quiet bonds over cuddly ones, Fava will become a steady, comforting presence who always makes her way back to you, in her own time.
