About Taki

Meet Taki, named after the spicy corn roll chips—and she lives up to it. Small but fiery, Taki comes with a big attitude, shaped by starting life outdoors alone in downtown Conway. Survival mode made her wary; she’s cautious and guarded around people, but she’s bonded closely with another cat, Shadow, who’s showing her that people can be safe. Taki needs time and patience to trust, and she's looking for an adopter who understands cats, their signals, and can give both her and Shadow a calm, gentle environment. Both are young (Taki is estimated between 8 months and a year), spayed, vaccinated, FeLV/FIV negative, and microchipped. Taki must be adopted with Shadow, as his presence is her comfort. If you’re willing to give these two a quiet home, they’ll repay it by blooming at their own pace. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
