About Adeline

Meet Adeline, a charming fourteen-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently residing in Amherst, MA. Her beautiful tortoiseshell coat matches her sweet spirit, and it's hard not to smile when she engages in her delightful conversations with her humans. Age is just a number for Adeline; she still enjoys zooming around the house, eager to keep an eye on the world outside and dream of chasing birds through her favorite window. Whenever feathered visitors stop by, she stretches tall, taps the glass with her determined little paws, and even attempts an enthusiastic leap to catch them. Her playful determination is truly infectious! Adeline can be shy around new people. However, with patience, her wonderfully funny personality shines through. Once she feels safe, she becomes a loyal companion and loves to stay close without being a lap cat. She's content to curl up nearby while you enjoy quiet evenings and lazy weekends together. Mealtime is her favorite time, and her vocal nature ensures you won’t forget to feed her! Adeline is spayed, healthy, and her only medical concern has been the occasional hairball. She enjoys wet food and thrives on routine. Due to past anxiety, especially from a nail-trimming incident, Adeline needs a calm caregiver who can help her build trust at her own pace. She should be the only pet in an indoor-only home and would do best with an experienced cat parent. While she has shown brief tolerance to a dog, she is not compatible with other cats, and her interactions with children remain untested. Could this talkative sweetheart be the companion you've been searching for? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
