About Madam

Meet Madam, an affectionate eleven-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently located in Amherst, MA. She embodies pure companionship, wrapped in a sleek black coat, and boasts a wonderfully chatty personality. At 12 pounds, Madam is a large, loving girl who thrives on human company. She eagerly greets her favorite people, curls up for cozy snuggles, and enjoys expressing herself with her signature vocal commentary. Imagine a dog’s enthusiasm and devotion, but in a cat’s body! This gentle soul adores attention and would flourish in a home where someone is regularly present to enjoy her cuddly nature. She loves daily petting and brushing, but she’s also playful—a fan of small mouse toys and wands. Even at eleven, she still knows how to make playtime exciting! Madam is great with children of all ages, having shown kindness to both school-aged kids and a two-year-old. Strangers don’t bother her either; she welcomes unfamiliar visitors with curiosity. She needs to be the only cat in her new home, as her compatibility with dogs hasn't been evaluated. A family that includes a senior or retired person could find her to be a perfect match thanks to her affectionate disposition. Due to diabetes, Madam takes a pill daily mixed into her soft food, with her condition currently well-managed. She is spayed, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up to date. As her hind legs are weak, she takes stairs slowly, so having her essentials nearby will be beneficial. Her new family will receive her food, automatic feeder, water fountain, litter box, and toys to ensure she comfortably transitions into her new environment. Madam is ready to fill her next chapter with cuddles, conversations, and playful chases! Could this sweet girl be the companion you’ve been waiting to welcome home? What are you waiting for?
