About Matilda

Meet Matilda, a gentle calico who’s looking for a new home. Matilda was caught in a tricky situation at a community colony, where she faced some bullying from other cats while trying to find her meals. Thankfully, a caring feeder saved her and brought her to King Street Cats, where she received the vet care she needed. This quiet girl loves being around other cats and enjoys her independence. She’s not one to curl up in your lap, preferring instead to have her space and keep her paws on the ground. Matilda would thrive in a calm home environment where she can relax and socialize on her own terms. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
