My name is Wheat!

Big Personality, Heart of Gold, Diva

Even if you are gluten-free, this kind of Wheat is great for you! She is always curious about where you are and will follow you around to stay in the loop and she is very expressive - she lets you know when she wants more pets or attention, and is a loyal companion! She is always eager for a movie-marathon if that means she gets to lay underneath a blanket.

She is reserved initially, but give her a little warm up time and she'll show you her affectionate side. She likes pets and chin scratches and will rub up against you, give you headbutts with her super cute round head, purr, and turn happy circles around you. She likes to be the one to decide when it's petting time, so watch for her cues! Curious, Wheat likes to explore every corner of her domain, and will let you know if she wants to see behind a closed door or cabinet.

Wheat likes to park herself near you and hang out, but she isn't the super snuggly type. Sitting quietly near her humans is just what she needs to feel content and happy. Once she's gotten to know you, she is fine with being gently picked up and will even purr because she enjoys being held and cuddled for a bit. She will let you know when she's ready to be put back down by softly pushing on your hands with her cute little paws!

Wheat can be super affectionate but doesn't need you to pet her all the time, and when she has had her Affection Fix, she will let you know what her boundaries are. She is happy having some alone time too.

Wheat's little run when it's time for a meal is so cute you can't help but smile. She likes to sit in a little "trip-leg" stance, and loyally will follow you from room to room to be part of what you're up to. A calm, content observer, Wheat thrives by just getting to exist near you and interact with you. She would thrive in a home where she can be the solo pet and adults only – she is all you need after all! This is where she will shine, purr and become your beloved and loyal resident couch potato!

Though a Golden Girl, she still occasionally likes to bat toy balls around and will chase after ice cubes! And she is super curious, always interested in what is on the other side of that closed closet or bedroom door. She can be chatty if she wants something, but she's generally quiet and self-sufficient. You'll fall in love with her gravelly meow!

Ms. Wheat didn't get to this age without forming some opinions about life and deciding what she likes and doesn't like. She definitely has her preferences and will let you know them! She needs to stay on a special diet to prevent kidney stones. Her food is readily available in local stores as well as online. Questions? Just ask!

Wheat has a thick black and white tuxedo and a pink nose with a black freckle! She's such a regal beauty. She simply needs people to give her time to settle in, some places to tuck herself into until she feels safe, and a home that respects her boundaries and welcomes her affection. She is a wonderful cat looking for a wonderful home! How about yours? Contact us to meet Wheat!
