My story

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

Meet Sweetheart — A Shy Little Love with a Playful Spark!

Sweetheart truly lives up to her name. This very shy but incredibly sweet girl is looking for a quiet, indoor-only home where she can feel safe, relaxed, and loved at her own pace. Once she’s comfortable, her playful side comes out—especially when catnip, toys, and tasty treats make an appearance!

Sweetheart would do best with quiet, respectful teens who understand that patience is key and boundaries matter. Other cats are a must-have for her—she feels most secure with feline friends by her side (a slow, gentle introduction will help her settle in). Dogs are still an unknown for her, so a dog-free or very calm home is preferred.

Sweetheart’s dream setup includes:
Plenty of cozy hiding and napping spots for decompression and comfort
Tons of toys, especially interactive and catnip-filled favorites
Cat trees & scratching posts for climbing and confidence-building
Window perches for peaceful birdwatching
Treats, wet food, and catnip — her favorite rewards

With time, patience, and a loving home (plus a kitty friend!), Sweetheart will blossom into a gentle, playful companion who brings soft purrs and quiet joy into your life.
