About Opal

Meet Opal, a true example of an old soul. At eight years old, she has experienced more than her fair share of hardship, including life on the streets and losing her kitten. Now, she's searching for her forever home and a kind companion who understands her gentle nature. Though she may be a bit wary of newcomers, Opal opens up beautifully with a bit of patience and an abundance of treats. She enjoys everything from being brushed to receiving cheek scratches, and once comfortable, she loves to be carried around. This curious cat communicates with a variety of sounds, from chirps to playful meows, bringing joy to the day. Opal does deal with some mild arthritis in her toes, but this doesn’t slow her down when it comes to playtime. She has a playful spirit and still darts after wand toys like a kitten. Opal needs a calm environment, ideally with a fellow mellow cat or as your sole companion. As part of her retired lifestyle, she appreciates her space and values routine to feel secure. Would you like Opal to join your gentle life? She’s ready to share her love with you. Start your journey together! Apply now.
