My name is Aria!

Meet Aria!

Aria is one of the longest residents at our shelter. Aria came into the shelter when she was around a year old as a stray and has been here for almost four years since. She is often overlooked because she does not like other cats and tends to be more aloof, but she is a goofball at heart and the sweetest once you gain her trust. Aria loves her treats and we have discovered she is a puzzle master! She is incredibly intelligent and enjoys interactive toys that can keep her mind and body occupied.

Aria can often be found taking cat naps by her favorite window or trying to make a jail break to get her food during dinner time! While sometimes feisty, Aria is not aggressive and will always give a warning nip when she's not in the mood for pets. And it is all worth it when she decides she does. Aria is a complete love and will climb up onto your lap to give you little head bumps and kisses. She prefers head pets and scratches as full body pets can sometimes be overstimulating for her, but every now and again she enjoys those too!

Aria is a staff favorite. After years spent with us, she has hoarded a generous collection of toys that we have gifted her over the years and never fails to make us laugh with her antics. We know that the perfect person is out there for our girl. Aria has that true "black cat" cold on the outside, warm on the inside, personality, and will have so much love to whoever decides to give her the chance she deserves.

Aria will need a more experienced cat owner who will be able to keep up with her cleverness and behavioral needs and would prefer to be the only animal in the home.
