About Vin

Meet Vin! Vin is a confident almost ten-year-old Domestic Short Hair, currently in Amherst, MA. She carries herself like royalty, merging sass and sweetness in her beautiful dilute tortoiseshell coat. With a charming personality, this affectionate senior loves to be close to her people. She’ll often flop down right in front of you or softly touch your arm with her paw to ask for pets. Her velvety fur makes every cuddle an extra special moment, and she’s even got a knack for polite high fives when treats are on the table. But don't be fooled—Vin has a playful side! She enjoys lively bursts of activity, darting after laser pointers, batting at feather toys, and leaping after catnip sticks under her favorite ripple rug. Her little commentary on birds is charming, and her occasional clumsiness adds humor to her charming personality. While Vin enjoys some independence during the day, she transforms into a bundle of energy every evening, reminding everyone of her youthful spirit. A perfect match for her would be a home where she can be the only pet, allowing her to fully relax and soak up attention from multiple family members. Vin is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, although she might require occasional dental cleanings to keep her grin bright. She is ready to find a loving home that will appreciate her vibrant personality and allow her to form a close bond with her new family. Could Vin be the delightful, attention-loving queen to rule your heart and home? Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
