About Murphy

Meet Murphy, a three-year-old Domestic Medium Hair with a lovely long black coat. This timid girl really thrives in the company of her fellow feline friends; she currently relies on a support cat in her foster home since she is almost completely deaf. Because of her shyness, she needs a calm, quiet home where she can take her time to adjust. While she may not be a lap cat, once she feels secure, she enjoys gentle petting and occasional snuggles. Murphy does not get along well with dogs or children, and she needs to be adopted with another cat for companionship. Patience is essential with Murphy, as she takes time to build trust. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find that special spot she can call home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
