With her tortoiseshell coat, Honey is a senior at 10 years old, bringing wisdom and affection to the right family. This affectionate cat loves to cuddle and will make herself comfortable on your lap if you sit or lie down for even a moment. Her gentle purring and reassuring biscuits are all part of her charm. Honey prefers a home without other pets as she has shown stress when living with them in the past. She's also a bit particular about her food habits, thriving on multiple small meals throughout the day rather than one big meal.
