About Opal

Opal is a striking young cat who’s sure to grow into an elegant adult, with a little dose of Queen Bee attitude. She spends her days playing with the other cats, lounging in sunbeams on the cat tree, and keeping a close watch on the birds fluttering outside the window. Treats and a little bit of people food have quickly become highlights in her world. When it comes to people, Opal tends to keep her distance for now, preferring to be admired from afar. She’ll accept gentle petting, especially when bribes (like squeezy treats) are involved, and there’s a chance that, with ongoing patience, she might become even more comfortable with close human interaction. She thrives around other cats, following an adult male cat in her foster home everywhere and always looking for a buddy to play or wrestle with. Give her space, companionship from other felines, and some time, and her true personality shines through. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
