My story

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

Looking for a roommate who knows she’s cooler than you but loves your company anyway? Libby is a grandmadame with a heart of gold and a meow that sounds like she's been smoking cigars behind the diner for decades.

Libby struts around like she owns the place—because, frankly, she does. She’s got opinions, she’s got boundaries, and she’s got style. Overt affection? you've gotta earn it—until she decides you’re the chosen one. (Pro tip: patience and a sprinkle of treats go a long way.) When you're the chosen one, you're an official bestie!

Libby is a secret softie who loves being near her people. She follows you around like a very adorable shadow. She's also shockingly tolerant of baths, meds, and general fussing—as long as you respect her "me-time" afterward.

Libby has a bit of a wobble to her walk due to some age-related back arthritis, but don’t be fooled—she’s still a world-class explorer, ready to survey her kingdom (aka your living room) and stake out the best nap spots. She falls asleep in the most adorable and ridiculous positions, and her sleepy loaf poses are basically art.

Libby would thrive in a quiet, adult-only household where she can reign supreme without too much chaos. She hasn’t been tested with other animals, but let’s just say she’s got "only child energy." Despite that, though, she's a fantastic little gal with a hilarious personality who's worth sixteen cats in but one small package. Come meet her, and prepare to be roasted, judged, and completely charmed by this crispy-voiced queen.

**Libby can also go home with a care package of 3 months' worth of her medication!**
