About Happy

Happy is a young female Domestic Short Hair in New York, NY, and she certainly lives up to her name. She's a little independent and may take time to adjust, but once she does, she's affectionate and full of charm. She enjoys snuggling and will follow you around closely—just be careful not to trip over her! During her time in foster care, Happy has demonstrated her playful side, relishing in games with string toys and shiny balls. She also has an amusing habit of vocally expressing herself, making her an entertaining companion. Happy seems to bond well with other cats but has shown some biting behavior, especially when she's feeling overstimulated—this suggests she might not be the best fit for homes with small children. While she uses the litter box, she may need a high-wall version to prevent messes. Happy is a delightful presence, but she will need a patient family that can help her with her quirks and engage her with plenty of playtime. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
