About Sailor

Meet Sailor, a captivating short-haired black cat with bright green eyes and a charming personality. This delightful feline combines affectionate cuddling with quirky traits that make her unforgettable. She does have a mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia, giving her a slight head tilt and some depth-perception challenges, but it doesn't stop her from playing and exploring as she zooms around the house. Sailor adores being held and will happily sit in your lap or monitor your activities from your desk. When she’s excited, her purr engine kicks in, and you might even notice a bit of drool—what we affectionately call liquid appreciation. She thrives in an indoor environment but enjoys fresh air, so a secure catio would be her dream setting. It's important to note that Sailor needs a cat-savvy adopter who understands her boundaries, as she can get overstimulated and may bite when she’s had enough play. She’s on medication for anxiety, so her forever home should be one where caregivers can interpret her signals, especially when she needs space. Sailor prefers to be the only cat, firmly declaring a no-feline-roommates policy. Her litter box habits are impeccable, and in return for your care, she promises warmth, enthusiastic supervision, whimsical zoomies, and one of the loudest purrs around. If you're looking for a unique companion with a blend of affection and fun, Sailor might just be the perfect match for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
