About Pixel

Pixel arrived through a large TNR effort and is just starting to adjust to life indoors. She’s a little reserved right now, but has a sweet side, purring when she feels safe and never showing signs of aggression. Pixel is looking for a calm, patient adopter who will let her settle in at her pace. She’s around 3.5 to 4 months old, with a short dilute tortoiseshell coat—that soft mix of grays, creams, and gentle orange. She’ll be spayed and up to date on vaccines before heading to her new home. Pixel is still learning how to live inside and isn’t house trained yet, so expect a bit of an adjustment period. If you can offer a quiet environment and some gentle encouragement, she’s got a lot of potential to blossom. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
