My story

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

Affectionate, Entertaining, BFF

Francesca is a total people-lover who thinks life is so much better with her favorite humans! Social, cuddly, and affectionate, she is your little shadow, following you from room to room, supervising chores, and settling in beside you for couch time. She isn’t shy either; even when a house full of guests comes over, Frankie is right there saying hello and soaking up the attention.

This girl loves playtime! She enjoys ribbons, string toys, and anything on a wand, especially if it gives her a chance to leap dramatically through the air to catch it. Catnip toys, scratching posts, and climbing spots are also favorites. And when playtime winds down, she’s right back to what she does best: cuddling.

Frankie is so affectionate and wants to be right by your side (or on your lap). Bathroom trips and household chores quickly become group activities with Frankie around, and at night she’ll tuck herself under the covers to sleep beside you.

She’s also quite the chatterbox. Frankie will greet you with happy meows when you walk through the door and isn’t shy about letting you know when it’s time for dinner or extra attention.

Before finding her way to APA!, Frankie was living life as a street kitty. Now she’s clearly thrilled to be an indoor girl where food, safety, and cozy naps are guaranteed. She did have her left eye removed, but she’s fully healed and feeling fantastic. If anything, it just gives her the adorable look of a permanent wink.

Sweet, sassy, and delightfully silly, Frankie keeps life entertaining. Whether she’s climbing cabinets, pouncing on your feet from a sneaky spot under the couch, or curling up under the covers at bedtime, there’s never a dull moment with this charming girl.

Her ideal home would be with someone who’s around often enough to enjoy her constant companionship. She hasn’t had much experience with other cats, so introductions should be slow and thoughtful. With how much she loves people, she may also do well with respectful kids who are ready for a devoted feline friend.

Reach out to talk with Frankie’s foster about how fantastic she is!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
