About Astrid

Meet Astrid, a delightful 1.5-year-old female cat, fondly known as "Kitty Girl" or "Mama." With her sweet and pleasant demeanor, Astrid warm up to new feline friends given a little time—about a week is typically needed. When she does bond, it's like they've been best pals forever. Astrid enjoys climbing and finding the highest spots in a room, always ready to observe her surroundings. She has a playful side, especially when it comes to chasing shoelace-like toys or any strings that dangle, reminiscent of playful fishing rods. Though she loves to watch birds and people from a cozy perch on the porch, her fine palate prefers chicken or seafood flavors, especially in wet food. While we’re unsure how she would react to children or dogs since she hasn’t met them yet, she tends to shy away from loud noises. If you think Astrid could be the purr-fect fit for your home, reach out to the owner, Rachel, at (434) 665-0898 or via email at Rachel.rae1850@gmail.com. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
