Adele is a striking young female tabby blessed with soft short fur in a unique blend of brown, chocolate, and silvery tabby markings. She’s absolutely obsessed with catnip—watch her pounce and roll with her catnip toy, tiring herself out before curling up for a nap still cuddled with it. Adele can become deeply affectionate to those who earn her trust, especially enjoying gentle pets and occasional treats. But trust doesn’t come easy for her. She is wary and can be reactive if pushed or startled, especially due to previous abuse. Children overwhelm her, and she can scratch or bite if frightened, so her best match is a quiet adult-only home with someone truly cat-savvy and patient. Despite her petite size—just over 7 pounds—Adele’s foster mom describes her as bold and brave. Adele does fine as an only cat and also might welcome a calm feline friend, but she needs a relaxed environment where she can dictate the pace of interaction. If you’re seeking a beautiful, playful, but independent companion who is happy to be alone but forms a real bond over time, Adele is ready to meet you. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
