My story

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

Are your love languages quality time and physical touch? Then Baby Girl may just be your soulmate!

Baby Girl is an incredibly sweet, affectionate little lady who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She follows her favorite humans from room to room, happily supervising daily life, and rewards you with constant purrs and enthusiastic snuggles. Once she settles in, she’s a full-on cuddlebug — curling up beside you in bed or on the couch and soaking up every bit of affection. Foster homes consistently describe her as an absolute angel with the gentlest, most loving personality.

Baby Girl also has the most endearing confidence. She has cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes her a bit wobbly, but she doesn’t let that slow her down one bit. She carefully climbs onto couches and beds, tackles small stairs so she can be near you, and trots along behind her humans with determination and charm. One of her cutest quirks? She sometimes does a little shake-out and tips over — then pops right back up like nothing happened. Her resilience and bright spirit are truly heart-melting.

Baby Girl has a suspected autoimmune condition (likely Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia) that affects her red and white blood cells. Her condition is currently well managed with twice-daily medication, which she takes like a champ. Because of her anemia, she can’t safely be spayed at this time, so she will need a strictly indoors-only home without other unfixed cats. Fortunately, Baby Girl strongly prefers being the only cat and is happiest soaking up all the love for herself.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a huge heart, gentle soul, and endless affection to give, Baby Girl is ready to steal yours.
