My story

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

Hi, I’m Noel — your future shadow, snuggle buddy, and feline queen in waiting.

I’m a 3-year-old spayed tabby girl, dressed in a soft grey and black coat with a sweet splash of white on my neck and the most mesmerizing green eyes you've ever seen. I’m not bonded to any other cats, and to be honest—I’d prefer being your one and only. But if you have a calm, respectful kitty who knows how to mind their business, we might just get along like distant roommates who nod at each other across the hall and maybe a sniff here and there and in time could become besties.

Right now, I’m living with a big ol’ Boxer dog in my foster home. I’m figuring him out. If your pup is gentle and cat-savvy, I think we could make it work. As for kids? I haven’t had much experience with tiny humans in my foster home, but I love people—so with patience and kindness, I might be a total sweetheart with older kiddos.

My favorite pass time? Feather wands with bells, cat dancer is fun too. After some play time I enjoy observing nature from a window sill and then like to curl up in my cozy cat house or sink into a soft, plush bed for a long nap.

I enjoy friskies wet and dry food and Treats? Oh, don’t get me started. Churus and Temptations have me in their paws. Offer either and you’ll have a loyal admirer for life.

When you walk through the door, I’ll be there to greet you—sometimes popping up on my back legs to meet you halfway for a good head rub. I adore being brushed, and pet especially on my cheeks, and I do love lap time. I’ll allow cuddles and I'll even bury my face into you just to be extra cute.

My story has some rough patches. I was adopted, but when my owners had to move, they surrendered me to a shelter instead of returning me to BTKR. Unfortunately, the shelter was overcrowded, and I came dangerously close to being euthanized due to lack of space. Thankfully, the rescue was notified—and BTKR rushed in and scooped me up right away!

At the rescue I was scared and spent most of my time hiding under my bed. But those days are behind me now. Since settling into my foster home, I’ve come out of my shell and rediscovered what it feels like to trust. I’m no longer that frightened princess—I’m affectionate, playful, and a confident queen. I soak up love like sunshine and give it back tenfold.

I’m a chill cat with an old soul—quiet at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll show you just how brave and loving I really am.

So... what do you say? Could you be the happy ending to my second chance?

With love and whiskers,
— Noel 🐾
