About Swallowtail

Swallowtail is a delightful one-year-old tortoiseshell who boasts a tail reminiscent of a high-end feather duster. She adds a unique twist to her mornings; instead of sitting patiently for breakfast, she plops herself down on her side, like someone giving in to the summer heat. Incredibly soft and unapologetically affectionate, she transforms into a purring wiggle-worm the moment you offer your lap. With her head nudging insistently against your hand, her joy is both sweet and slightly chaotic. Swallowtail is searching for a home that appreciates her vibrant personality. She is bonded with her little friend Skipper, and they must find a forever home together. Click apply to start the adoption process.
