My story

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

Meet Teddy 🧸
Teddy has grown from a snuggly kitten into a quiet, gentle cat who prefers a slower pace of life. She’s what you might call a classic scaredy cat—new noises, busy environments, and lots of activity can be overwhelming for her. That said, once she feels safe, Teddy will seek out gentle pets on her own terms, and those moments are soft, calm, and very sweet.

She isn’t demanding or attention-seeking, and she doesn’t need to be the center of everything. Teddy would thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home with someone who understands that love doesn’t always look loud. She’s the ideal no-fuss roommate cat: respectful of space, content to coexist, and happy just being near her person.
Her sister, T-Bone, really loves her and while it isn't a requirement, we really hope these two can stay together. Please consider a low maintenance pair of roommate cats.
