About Gold

Gold is an 8-year-old Domestic Long Hair with a warm, brown and chocolate coat. She's ready to snuggle and find her perfect home. Gold enjoys catnip, tuna-flavored treats, and chin scratches. Known for her sweet nature, she loves to be near her people, but she’ll step away when she needs a break. She can entertain herself with her toys but may benefit from the company of another feline friend, given a gentle introduction. Gold is a bit shy and will need a patient adopter who understands she may take time to feel comfortable in her new environment. Initially, it will be best to set her up in one room with the door shut, providing her a safe space to adjust. With patience, she will start to explore and come out of her shell. Gold can be overwhelmed by visitors, so a calm household would suit her well. Would you like to make her part of your family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
