About Duchess Tarkitty

Duchess Tarkitty is a charming adult calico cat who comes from a partner rescue in Tennessee alongside her best friend, Duke. These two are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. Duchess enjoys the quieter things in life and would thrive in a low-activity, serene environment, ideally without children or dogs. With her short hair, Duchess is on the plump side, embodying a cozy and cuddly presence. While she prefers to watch, her companion Duke loves to engage in playful activities, batting toys around the floor. Both cats take turns hopping into laps for some affectionate petting, even if they don't completely fit at once! In their foster home, they delight in a diet of canned Fancy Feast and have free access to high-quality kibble. Neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped, both are well cared for. They do share their living space with a tall sisal-wrapped scratching post and prefer a spacious, high-sided litter box. Due to their special adoption requirements, they are looking for a quiet home without other pets or kids. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
