About Socks

Socks is ready to enjoy her golden years in a retirement home where she can curl up on your lap while watching holiday shows. This sweet yet spicy 11-year-old lady lived her whole life with one person, who is now unable to care for her due to dementia. The family attempted to introduce her to their home, but Socks didn’t get along with their resident cat, which proved to be a challenge. Socks is looking for a cat-savvy caregiver who understands that her affection comes on her terms. She can be a little feisty when things don't go her way, but with some patience, she opens up and shows her curious, delightful side. Although changes can make her a bit anxious, she responds well when given time. She's up to date on all vaccinations and treatments, ensuring she's healthy and ready for a new adventure. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share your space, Socks is waiting for you in Arlington, WA. Let’s make her next chapter the best one yet!
