Coco is a 4-year-old female domestic short hair, small in size and beautifully colored brown and black. She is spayed and up-to-date with vaccinations, ready for a loving home.

About Coco

Meet Coco, a lovely domestic short hair eager to find a new home where she can enjoy her space and receive attention on her own terms. This four-year-old girl appreciates the calm life of a couch potato, taking her time to soak in the day. Coco tends to be shy, especially around new people, so patience is key. She's lived with young kids but would fare better with older ones who will respect her need for personal space. Coco has a brother named Tiger, also up for adoption, making them a great pair for anyone interested in varying personalities. Transitioning to a new home will take time. Coco may start off timid and require weeks to feel at ease, so be prepared for her to need a quiet space to adjust. Setting her up in one room initially, with comforting hiding spots and a variety of food options, will support her in feeling safe as she acclimates to her new environment. Once settled, she may still be a shy girl who prefers to stay away from visitors. Ready to adopt? Come visit during open hours, or you can opt for remote adoption by placing a 24-hour hold. Give Coco a chance to thrive in a loving home that understands her needs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
