My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Miguelina - The Radiant Tortoiseshell Explorer! Step into the world of Miguelina, a spirited tortoiseshell beauty with a personality as vibrant as her unique coat. Miguelina is not just a kitten; she's a lively explorer, ready to infuse your home with energy, curiosity, and a touch of mystery.

Personality: Miguelina's personality is a delightful mix of playfulness, energy, and occasional calmness. Rarely laid back, this torti kitten is always on the move, exploring every nook and cranny with her insatiable curiosity. Fear is a foreign concept to Miguelina, and shyness is a rare occurrence - she's a confident and friendly feline through and through.

Social Interaction: Miguelina is a social butterfly, showcasing her friendly nature with children and adults. While she may be initially shy around strangers, her overall comfort and unfazed demeanor make her approachable and adaptable. She has a special affinity for other cats but has yet to be introduced to the world of dogs.

Play Preferences: Chasing-type toys are Miguelina's preferred playmates, keeping her engaged and entertained. When not in the midst of play, she can be found lounging by the window, daydreaming and observing the world outside - especially squirrels and birds.

Interaction with People: While Miguelina isn't particularly comfortable being handled, she is unbothered by the presence of people. You can walk toward her, and she'll simply meet your gaze with a curious glance. Her social and friendly disposition makes her a charming addition to households with children and adults.

Adoption Considerations: Miguelina's ideal home would be one that appreciates her spirited and inquisitive nature, providing ample space for exploration. She may be initially shy with strangers, but with time, Miguelina warms up and becomes an affectionate companion. An environment with understanding adopters who respect her preference for minimal handling would be ideal.

In Summary: Miguelina is not just a kitten; she's a captivating presence waiting to bring joy and warmth to your home. If you're ready for a feline companion with a zest for life and a touch of mystery, come meet Miguelina and embark on an adventure together!

Miguelina is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested negative on the feline triple SNAP test.
