About Peony

Peony is a striking 3-month-old torbie—a beautiful blend of tortoiseshell and tabby—that almost demands a second look. She’s got those vivid, unique markings that tend to turn heads and make people pause. While she might come off as a bit of a princess with her flashy looks, Peony is a thinker more than a diva. She watches her world—and her siblings—with a keen eye, figuring things out before diving into the action. Sometimes she’ll play hard with her sister, Penny, and other times you’ll find her off to the side quietly guarding her prized pom-pom toy. She’s not a big lap cat (yet), but she’s tolerant of a scoop and a cuddle before wriggling loose to get back in the game. Peony thrives with other cats and will do best if adopted with a sibling or another kitten friend to keep her entertained and engaged. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
