Mosaic arrived after being found locked inside a NYCHA storage room - underweight, scared, and desperately needing care. Even so, she greeted staff with soft meows, head butts, and purrs, soaking up affection the moment she felt safe. Mosaic loves attention and will lean all the way in for pets, though she can become overstimulated and needs humans who can read her cues. She's a sweet, chatty, people-oriented senior girl who's been through a lot and deserves stability and comfort.
My Ideal Home
Mosaic will thrive in a calm, predictable home with adopters who understand cat body language and can give her space when she needs it. She enjoys affection but doesn't always know how to regulate her excitement. A patient, experienced adopter will help her settle, decompress, and regain confidence after her difficult start.
Good with Kids?
No young children. Mosaic has shown signs of overstimulation and redirected frustration in the shelter. Teens who understand boundaries and can interact gently may be appropriate with counselor guidance.
Good with Other Pets?
Mosaic should be the only cat. She became stressed when seeing other cats nearby and redirected toward handlers. A cat-free home will help her feel secure and relaxed.
Overall Health
Mosaic is underweight and has dental disease typical for her age. She is otherwise doing well and received a permanent spay waiver due to being a senior. She'll benefit from continued nutritious meals, regular vet care, and dental follow-up with her future veterinarian.
Behavior Determination
Level 3 - Mosaic is affectionate and social but becomes overstimulated at times, especially around other cats. She needs an experienced adult home that can support her emotional needs and help her settle at her own pace.
Other Fun Facts
• Mosaic chirps when she's happy
• She loves catnip toys and squeeze-up treats
• She leans all the way in for cheek scratches
• She has a playful streak despite her age
• Her tortie personality comes through in adorable bursts
