My story

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

Don’t let her name fool you—Vader is a total sweetheart. This gentle girl can be a bit of a wallflower at first, taking her time to feel comfortable and safe in new surroundings. With a little patience and a calm environment, she truly blossoms into a loving and affectionate companion.

Once Vader warms up, she shows her friendly side with loud, happy purrs and a deep appreciation for human company. She loves being near her people so much that she’s a bit of a social eater—happily enjoying her meals while pausing for pets and attention. In her foster home, Vader showed her softer side by hopping onto the bed at night once she was settling in, soaking up cuddles and gentle affection.

Vader is looking for a quiet, peaceful home where she can feel safe, loved, and given the chance to come out of her shell at her own pace. If you’re searching for a sweet, loyal feline friend who will reward your patience with affection and purrs, Vader may be the perfect match for you.
