My story

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

Gracie May is a striking diluted tortoiseshell beauty—and with that gorgeous coloring comes a touch of classic tortitude. She’s confident in her preferences and isn’t shy about letting you know the right way to do things… which just happens to be her way.

Gracie prefers relationships to move at a slow, respectful pace and may not be ready for pets right away. The shelter environment is very stressful for her, and she does not show her affectionate side in a kennel setting. Away from the shelter, in a calm home environment, Gracie is much more receptive to affection while still maintaining clear boundaries. Once trust is built, she enjoys gentle love like chin scratches, especially if Churu treats are involved. She is mildly playful without being over-the-top, and often chooses to relax in a cozy spot where she can observe her surroundings.

Gracie values her personal space and communicates her boundaries well, making her best suited for a home without small children. She is accustomed to home life and, with time to decompress and settle in, becomes comfortable and content. She shows signs of being litter box trained and would do best as the only cat in the home.

If you’re looking for a cat with personality, beauty, and a quiet, confident presence—one who is far more affectionate once removed from the stress of the shelter—Gracie May may be the perfect companion for you.
