About Buttercup

Buttercup may be the smallest of her three sisters, but her personality is anything but small. This tiny tortie cat is fearless, curious, and overflowing with charm. With a sweet touch of buttery-white fur on her right paw, she makes an irresistible kitten. Don’t be fooled by her size. Buttercup is adventurous and often the first to explore a new space. She loves climbing to the top of the cat tree and investigating her surroundings, often getting into playful mischief. Despite her bold spirit, Buttercup is a total cuddle bug. She purrs almost instantly when given attention, rolls over for belly rubs, and revels in affection. Her soulful brown eyes add to her charm. Buttercup shares a close bond with her sisters, Blossom and Bubbles. They eat, sleep, play, and explore together, and she thrives in the company of other cats. Although independent enough to venture out on her own, she enjoys playtime with feline friends. Her ideal home would have plenty of chances to climb, play, explore, and interact with both people and other cats, especially another playful young cat or kitten. With her fearless nature, immediate purrs, and loving disposition, Buttercup is sure to melt hearts. It is Fancy Cats’ policy to not adopt kittens singly without another young and/or playful dog or cat in the home. Buttercup is waiting for the perfect home—are you the one?
