Animal ID: 946232 How this pet arrived:
Bailey was brought in by a her previous owner on November 11, 2025.
Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Bailey, a gorgeous girl with a big personality and an even bigger opinion about personal space. She has a history of overstimulation that has, on occasion, led to bites that broke skin-think of her as a cat who believes strongly in "consent-based petting." She can also get a little extra at the vet (scratching or attempting to bite when stressed), but she's done well with small visiting dogs and may do fine with older, respectful kids who know that "Bailey time" is a privilege, not a right.Bailey is looking for humans who speak fluent Cat Body Language. A rippling coat? Time for a break. Tail swishing like a metronome? She's setting boundaries. Dilated pupils and extra vocalizing? She's politely saying, "Let's pause, please." Give her space when she asks, and she'll reward you with her sweet, sassy, wonderfully expressive self. She's also a proud late-night snacker, so an automatic feeder might save you from 2 a.m. "excuse me, my bowl is empty" concerts. Vet visits aren't Bailey's favorite adventure, so she'll need a Fear Free-minded, cat-savvy veterinarian. Her adopters should chat with their vet ahead of time about options-like pre-visit meds or virtual consults-to keep things calm and drama-free. And when it's time for her big move, don't forget to bring a top-loading carrier to make her journey home as safe and smooth as possible. With the right mix of respect, humor, and patience, Bailey will happily reign as queen of your household-on her terms, of course.
