Joyce is a striking brown tabby with an intriguing mix of sweetness and spunk. After suddenly losing her owner, Joyce spent three years outdoors, away from human comfort. She raised a litter of kittens in that time before coming indoors with help from dedicated rescuers. Early on, Joyce was understandably wary, but her fondness for pets and face scritches quickly resurfaced. These days, when someone enters her foster room, she might greet them with a hiss—then almost immediately flip to chirping, purring, and even standing on her hind legs for affection. Her love of attention comes with boundaries: quick movements near her face make her anxious and she isn't keen on being picked up. She’s suited for a cat-savvy adopter who can read her signals and give her the patience she deserves. In her foster home, Joyce has shown little interest in having other cats around and would rather be the only pet, unless she’s adopted with one of her kittens. An adult-only home or one with older, experienced children will fit her best. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
