About Violet

Meet Violet, a delightful fourteen-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Amherst, MA. She’s a burst of companionship, conversation, and playful charm wrapped in a lovely grey tabby coat. Despite her senior status, Violet approaches each day with the enthusiasm of a younger cat, eager to follow around her favorite person and sprinkle extra joy into every moment. Violet is a social butterfly who loves being involved in all activities, showcasing her remarkable talent for making her presence known. This talkative girl enjoys cheerful conversations, often treating her humans to her own unique style of singing. If you move from room to room, expect to find Violet happily tagging along, curiously engaged in every task. Playtime remains one of her favorites! From ribbons to crinkly paper, nothing escapes her attention. She adores batting toys and turning ordinary items into grand adventures. One of her standout quirk is her adorable "dolphin technique;" when someone holds a hand above her head, she rises gracefully to greet it, creating a delightful dolphin-like motion. While she enjoys affection, it’s on her own terms — she loves pets and cozy lap time when she feels the urge. Violet thrives on companionship and builds strong bonds with those she trusts. Violet would do best in a calm, child-free home without other pets, where she can receive the attention she craves. She's spayed, microchipped, and has a clear health history following a past issue with urinary crystals. Just be mindful to keep plastic bags safely tucked away, as she has a habit of chewing on them. You can adopt Violet on her own or alongside her sister, Veruca, continuing their journey together or finding a new loving home with the right caregiver. Are you ready to welcome this chatty, playful companion who will brighten your every day? Click apply to start the adoption process.
