My story

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

Meet Tipsy: A Sweet Senior Seeking Her Golden Home

Tipsy joined us in February after her person passed away. This charming girl has quickly shown us her unique personality! At an estimated 12-16 years old (a delightful surprise, as we initially were told she was 6!), Tipsy is a resilient and affectionate senior who's likely mostly or completely deaf. Don't worry though, she has a very distinctive and loud meow that lets you know exactly what she wants!

This girl has a huge purr motor and absolutely demands chin pets—she'll let you know when it's time for some love. While she's not a fan of being picked up, she thrives on gentle affection and finds comfort in tucking away in a cozy hidey hole.

Tipsy is a trooper, gracefully adapting to change with patience. She's currently on medication to help manage her heart murmur and elevated thyroid, liver, and heart functions, and she's doing great. And watch out: if she gets a little spooked, she can be very fast!

She tolerates other pets but isn't looking to form close friendships—she's more interested in her human companions. Tipsy also has a few quirks, like her strong preference for potty breaks on non-carpeted surfaces (she's had no accidents on wood floors!). And if you ever need to move her in a carrier, be prepared for some dramatic "yelling"—it's just her way of protesting!

Tipsy is a special, loving senior who deserves a patient and understanding forever home where she can enjoy her golden years feeling safe, cherished, and adored for all her wonderful quirks. Could your home be the purr-fect fit for Tipsy?
