About Gizmo

Gizmo appeared at her foster's property and quickly claimed her spot, enjoying meals and affection as if she had always belonged. This charming tuxedo girl displays a remarkable comfort around people, suggesting she was once a beloved house cat. Now, she's ready to be cherished again. With an inquisitive spirit, Gizmo would happily follow you indoors. She’s adjusted well to her indoor surroundings and uses her litter box without a hitch. Affection is her forte. Gizmo adores pets and scratches, purring contentedly and kneading like a pro. While she’s not overly vocal, she knows how to make her dinnertime wishes known. Her diet is flexible—she enjoys both wet and dry food, churu, freeze-dried treats, and she’s especially fond of catnip. Gizmo also loves to chase wand toys when the moment strikes her. She has mixed well with other community cats and would likely flourish in a home with 1 to 2 feline companions (with proper introductions), or as a content only cat. Although she hasn’t been formally tested with kids or dogs, her laid-back demeanor indicates she’d likely adapt well to children over 3 and could coexist peacefully with a calm, older dog. Sweet, social, and ready for a loving family—could Gizmo be the perfect addition to your home?
