3 year old Hope is a breathtaking buff calico with movie-star looks and absolutely zero interest in being part of your social circle. This independent queen is not here for cuddles or small talk - she prefers a calm, predictable environment where she can sleep peacefully, admire herself, and not be observed too closely. She does not enjoy other animals, she does not seek affection, and she would particularly like for us to note that this is not something she plans to work on. Hope knows she is gorgeous and will use that to her advantage. She is the 8th Wonder of the World - meant to be observed and not touched. She is not here for you; she is better than you and she knows it.
Hope would thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home with a cat-savvy human who respects her boundaries and understands that companionship doesn`t always have to include physical interaction. She is a self-sufficient girl looking for a peaceful, low-contact home where she can exist in quiet judgment. She is happiest when left to do her own thing and would make an excellent roommate for someone who appreciates a beautiful presence without the expectations. Hope would do wonderfully in a long distance friendship - same room, but with some space between you unless she gets the need for a few short lived scratches.
While Hope may never be a lap cat, she has her own way of sharing space - silently from across the room, with judgment that comes from a place of love. She firmly believes that true love and friendship isn`t possessive, but instead honors respect, independence, and space. For the right person, that`s more than enough. Hope is spayed, up to date on vaccines, current on prevention, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative. She is ready to move in and ignore you forever.
