My story

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

Meet Emily – The Cranky Cutie With a Heart of Gold (Once She Knows You!)

If you love a cat with personality, depth, and a very specific opinion on how life should go… allow us to introduce Emily! This gorgeous girl may seem a bit cranky and stressed right now, but don’t let her current mood fool you—she was once a playful, affectionate, loyal little shadow who adored snuggling up with her favorite person.

Emily is a cat who blooms slowly but beautifully. She’ll need a LOT of time to settle in—we’re talking 6 months to a full year before she truly relaxes and shows her sweet, snuggly side. But for the right human, watching her open up will be one of the most rewarding experiences ever.

Emily’s Non-Negotiables:
No kids. She prefers a calm, predictable environment.
No other animals. She wants to be your one and only.
Lots of personal space. A dedicated “Emily Room” where she can retreat when overwhelmed would be her dream setup.

Her ideal home includes:
Ultra-comfy hiding and napping spots (fluffy beds, cozy caves, blanket forts—she loves them all!)
Cat trees, scratchers, and window perches so she can observe her kingdom from a safe distance
Tons of toys: catnip, interactive wand toys, solo-play toys—you name it
Gentle brushing sessions once she trusts you and settles in

Her favorite things:
Gravy Lovers wet food (she is a gravy connoisseur)
Treats of all kinds
Catnip, because even cranky queens love to party

Emily may not be the cat who rushes to greet you on day one—but give her time, patience, and love, and she’ll reward you with snuggles, companionship, and her own special brand of sweetness.

If you’re searching for a forever friend who bonds deeply and loves hard (once she’s ready), Emily might just be the perfect match for your quiet, cozy home.
