About Buttercup

Meet Buttercup, a sweet and petite orange tabby looking for her forever home. Rescued from a colony with her adorable kittens, she quickly proved to be friendly and social. Buttercup was quite shy at her foster home, hiding under a dresser initially, but she's been making great strides and growing more confident each day. She's had limited exposure to other pets but has shown curiosity, sniffing at the door when other cats or dogs are nearby. While she hasn’t interacted extensively, her calm demeanor suggests she could blend well with a cat-savvy dog or another friendly cat. Older, gentle children who can take their time getting to know her might be ideal, as she’s still finding her footing. Buttercup is affectionate, enjoys being petted, and is a pro at making biscuits! She’s ready to give a loving family a lifetime of companionship. Could that family be yours?
