Astrid is about to start a new chapter as an empty nester and is searching for a calm, patient home with an experienced cat owner. She’s still finding her footing indoors after a rough stretch outside, learning that warmth and safety beat backyards any day. Astrid prefers affection on her terms, responding best when there’s food involved—tube treats are her favorite bribe. She enjoys long, quiet hours beside someone who’s content to spend time with her, offering gentle pets and regular brushing for her plush fur. Astrid speaks her mind (expect an occasional hiss as her greeting), but with the right person, she’ll blossom. If you want a rare gray tabby with an independent spirit, Astrid is waiting for you in Vancouver, WA. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
