About Whitney

Whitney is a lovely passive lady who thrives on love, particularly when it comes in the form of treats and playtime. She enjoys engaging with stick toys and loves to find her favorite perches on high cat trees. While she appreciates some alone time and prefers to observe rather than engage with her kitty companions, she will seek out physical touch on her own terms, which can be frequent if you earn her trust. Whitney would thrive best as the only cat or pet, especially in a calm household with older, considerate children who understand her need for space. Although she is used to having her kitty roommates around, her temperament with dogs is still a mystery, so a slow introduction is recommended. She is spayed, tested negative for FELV/FIV, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Whitney has a healed eye ulcer that leaves a permanent haze, but it doesn’t affect her quality of life. This sweet girl’s estimated birthday is March 31, 2026. Start your journey together! Apply now.
