About Adeline

Meet Adeline! A delightful fourteen-year-old Domestic Short Hair, currently in Amherst, MA, Adeline's charming personality is perfectly matched by her stunning tortoiseshell coat. She captivates everyone with her endless conversations and playful spirit. Adeline proves that age is just a number. She joyfully zips around the house and keeps a watchful eye on the outside world, dreaming of becoming the neighborhood's top bird hunter from her favorite window perch. When feathered friends appear, she eagerly taps the glass with her tiny paws, and sometimes makes an enthusiastic leap to catch their attention. Her playful determination is truly entertaining. Though she can be a bit shy at first, with patience Adeline reveals her wonderfully funny side. Once you gain her trust, she becomes a loyal companion, preferring nearby cuddles over being a lap cat. Adeline is quite vocal, especially near mealtime, ensuring everyone knows when dinner time rolls around. Spayed and healthy, Adeline requires a calm environment as she can be anxious, particularly after a challenging nail-trimming experience. Therefore, she needs a gentle caregiver who respects her boundaries and understands her pace. As the only pet in an indoor-only home, she would thrive with an experienced cat parent. While she’s not compatible with other cats, she did show a brief tolerance for a dog. Adding her charm into your home means gaining a gentle and affectionate friend who rewards kindness with loyalty and delightful companionship.
