Tapioca is a 7-year-old spayed female Domestic Short Hair, characterized by her medium size. She is house trained and has had her vaccinations updated. Currently residing in Lansing, MI, she’s looking for a patient family that understands her special needs to help her adjust.

About Tapioca

Tapioca is a shy little girl looking for a quiet, loving home where she can truly thrive. Having spent her time as a retired blood donor, she’s ready to find her forever companion and be pampered in return. Don’t be surprised if it takes her some time to come out of her shell—trust is earned slowly, but once she feels safe, she loves gentle pets and affection. A quiet home without dogs or small children is the best fit for her, especially since she truly enjoys the company of other cats. With a feline friend or two, she would likely blossom even more. Currently, she's undergoing a medication trial to address some overgrooming stemming from stress, and her future family should be prepared to support her through this process. If you have questions about her medication or care needs, feel free to reach out. Tapioca is about 7 years old, spayed, and up to date on all vaccinations. Her adoption fee is waived and we encourage a donation to Capital Area Humane Society or Saved By Zade in her name instead. Let’s give her the home she deserves!
