About Muffin

Meet Muffin! This sweet fourteen-year-old Domestic Short Hair brings a gentle spark of love wrapped in a beautiful dilute tortoiseshell coat. Although she's a senior, Muffin displays the playful energy of a much younger kitty, joyfully chasing laser pointers and wand toys before flopping over in celebration. One of her charming quirks is how she twirls her head while tracking a wand toy, making every play session feel like a delightful show. Once she trusts someone, she becomes the ultimate velcro cat, happiest curled up in a warm lap, soaking up affection and companionship. Muffin takes her time to build confidence. Loud noises, vacuum cleaners, and vet trips can be daunting for her, occasionally leading to fear-based potty accidents during stressful moments. With understanding and a calm routine, she blossoms into a loving companion who simply wants to feel safe. She would thrive in a peaceful home without other pets or children, where an experienced cat parent can help her settle in at her own pace. Trusting you may take weeks or even months, but when it does, Muffin offers unwavering devotion. She has had two front teeth removed due to tooth resorption, so she enjoys wet food, although she can still eat dry food if necessary. Occasionally experiencing hairballs, she remains healthy, playful, spayed, and ready to enjoy cozy days with her favorite person. Muffin's joyful spirit shines during interactive playtime, followed by long cuddle sessions that highlight the beauty of quiet moments. Muffin needs a loving home where patience, gentle encouragement, and understanding are part of daily life. In return, she will offer endless affection, silly antics, and loyal friendship. Could Muffin be the gentle companion who fills your home with quiet love? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
