Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


She was adopted at 12 years old in Michigan. She lived with one other cat at the time, and she has been an outside cat and indoor cat in those years. But she has been an indoor cat since. Her previous owner had a child who had an allergy so they had to give away the cat. Knowing that older cats don’t get adopted, I took her in. She is a bit of a scardy cat (hence she stays indoors) and she doesn’t do well with transportation, but indoors, she loves attention, and loves to sleep next to me, sometimes on me, and follows me around and licks me. She sometimes have scooting issues / throw up sometimes but I took her to the vet and it seems it may be because she needed her anal glands expressed. She’s very healthy for her age- last vet said she looks a decade younger. She doesn’t like dogs and vacuum cleaners, but she’s sweet with people. She likes being pet by strangers as long as it’s gentle. She doesn’t move much given her age, and sleeps a lot. But she will play with mouse toys.
