About Autumn

Meet Autumn! Full of curiosity and classic calico sass, Autumn is the type of cat who turns everyday life into a comedy show. She leaps into new spaces with enthusiasm, dives into fetch games, and keeps busy exploring every nook she can wriggle into. Although she loves being admired for her good looks, she often prefers to sit right next to you instead of being petted everywhere, thanks to feline hyperesthesia that makes her back and tail sensitive. Chin and head scratches are always welcome though, and over time, she learns to trust and relax with those she bonds with. Autumn is especially sweet and has a gentle, silly energy. She is spayed, microchipped, and current on all her vaccines. She gets along with other cats and thrives best with someone who understands and appreciates her quirks. If you’re an experienced cat owner who’s looking for a loyal, playful, and endlessly entertaining companion, Autumn is ready to join your home in Charlottesville, VA. What are you waiting for?
