About Aria

Aria has spent nearly her entire life at the shelter—over six years—and has picked up the habits that come with it. She’s a black and white tuxedo with a bit of a backstory: after years of chewing her own tail, she comes with some quirks both physical and temperamental. One minute Aria will beg for your attention, even climbing up to perch on your shoulders or nudging you for pets, and then she'll change her mind just as quickly and retreat for some alone time. She’s straightforward like that—she knows what she wants (and when it's enough). Aria gets along with the other cats around her, minding her own business and never picking fights. She’s spayed, chipped, and current on vaccines. If you want a cat who isn’t "perfect," who needs someone just as they are, Aria could be your match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
