My story

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

Butternut is a stunning orange female cat — a rare gem with a beautiful, warm coat to match her unique personality.

Butternut is a curious explorer at heart. She loves to roam around and investigate every nook and cranny, and she absolutely lives for her playtime with springs — she’ll bat them around and then zoom off in a flash! When she’s not running her speedy laps, you can find her lounging in the catio, enjoying the fresh air, and hanging out with the resident cat. She sometimes gives a little swat to remind them she likes her space, but her fosters are helping her learn polite kitty manners.

When it comes to affection, Butternut likes things on her terms. She enjoys being held and petted when she’s in the mood, and she appreciates a patient human who can respect her independence.

If you're looking for a beautiful, spunky, and adventurous companion to brighten up your life, Butternut might just be the perfect match. She’s ready to explore her forever home — maybe with you!

Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

This cat is at our adult cat adoption lounge located in downtown San Jose. To meet him, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
