About Cider

Cider is a 2-year-old domestic shorthair who has blossomed from a shy street survivor into a lovable companion. At around 12 pounds, she boasts beautiful tabby markings and a soft, short coat. Rescued from life outside in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, she is learning to navigate the comforts of indoor living, including a cozy bed and a cat tree where she enjoys lounging and window watching, especially when birds are nearby. While new experiences can make her a bit nervous, Cider has shown that with patience and a bit of time, she reveals her affectionate side. Once comfortable, she’ll greet you with playful purrs and stretches, ready for gentle pets and playtime with her beloved feather toy. She's also a Churu enthusiast, with these tasty treats being the key to her heart. Cider is currently FIV-positive, but with proper veterinary care, she can live a happy life. She is spayed, vaccinated, and house-trained. She might prefer to be the only cat, but with the right introduction, she could potentially share her home with another calm cat. Cider would like to avoid dogs, so a quiet, stable environment is best for her as she settles in. If you’re looking for a gentle spirit who just needs a little time to warm up, Cider may be the purr-fect match for you. Don't forget to bring some Churus to help her feel right at home!
