Blythe is as cuddly as cats get. So much so that if you don't sit down throughout the day she gets upset about the lack of cuddle time and will make it known through meows and chirps. She prefers having access to her people (and their attention) at all times but once she settles in, you might catch her sitting in the other room occasionally. She likes eating and if hungry she might go digging through your cat food bags (and will make her way into them, paper or metal box it doesn't matter). Good news is if you put them on a shelf or high up she doesn't tend to be much of a climber (if it requires really tall jumps, counters are still fair game). Be mindful of the plants in your home as well because she can be a leaf nibbler!
She is extremely vocal (and loud). She tends to meow consistently throughout the day or if she feels that she isn't getting enough attention. She also LOVES snuggling up close to your face or neck if she has the option, and you might catch her doing this as you fall asleep. I also have a theory that she doesn't like it when people stand/move around, especially for long periods, because she crouches into a ball next to you and starts angrily meowing. She just misses her cuddles! OH and she loves drinking water from a human glass.
Note from the foster parent: If she isn't eating a couple days into her arrival to her new home, it might be that she needs more human attention! We found that she did much better when her safe space included a human (e.g.,. a small bedroom) so that she could be around people more often than she would in a bathroom for example. If struggling to get her to eat, she definitely has enjoyed: Friskies: Salmon and Chicken shredded wet food, Friskies: Surfin & Turfin and Friskies liver pate.

Additional adoption info
Adoption fee is $200 per adult cat, and $250 for kittens (under 8 months old).
This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!
Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $200.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $150 per cat vs. $200 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
