About May

May is a shy but intriguing cat, a true example of a House Spirit. Living quietly in your home, she prefers to observe rather than engage. Visitors might not even catch a glimpse of her, as she prefers the safety of shadows. With patience, May may warm up to one or two people, allowing occasional touches and seeking proximity during quieter moments, perhaps even curling up beside you at night. She’s a perfect fit for gentle souls in calm homes, ready to make a meaningful difference in the life of a cat that craves understanding rather than attention. Keep in mind, though, that she won't transform into a typical cat; her unique demeanor is likely here to stay. Ready to adopt?
