About Sissy

Sissy and her brother started their lives outside in a cat colony before a caring foster brought them indoors. Both cats are still cautious after such a big change. Sissy is especially reserved—she prefers observing from a distance and watching people rather than interacting, but has her own sort of quiet charm. She is not likely to initiate affection, yet gives off a gentle presence, making her a thoughtful companion for calm households. Sissy gets along with other cats but is not comfortable around dogs or children due to her shy nature. She’d thrive best in a peaceful, adult home where she can settle in at her own pace. Sissy is spayed and her vaccinations are current. Born January 26th, Sissy’s sun sign is Aquarius, so don't be surprised if she’s happiest doing her own thing. Sissy currently waits for a home in Newark, DE. Start your journey together! Apply now.
