My story

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


Meet Curiosity

Panther vibes. Sweet soul. Endless curiosity.


Quick Look

Name: Curiosity
Age: Kit-Teen
Size: Small (but thinks she’s mighty)
Special Traits: Sleek panther look, incredibly affectionate, gentle and curious nature
Best Friend: Other friendly cats—especially her buddy Marky Mark


About Curiosity

At first glance, Curiosity may look like a big, tough panther—but don’t be fooled. The moment you meet her, the love and sweetness radiate right off of her. While she might think of herself as a little intimidating, nothing about her personality supports that theory. She’s a mild-mannered sweetheart through and through.

Curiosity is a fairly small kit-teen who absolutely adores affection. Pet her around the sides of her neck and face, and you’ll see her melt instantly. She’s not quite a lap cat yet, but all signs point to “very soon.” She already loves being close and soaking up attention, it just feels like a matter of time before she decides laps are her natural habitat.

True to her name, Curiosity loves to investigate her surroundings. She enjoys playtime and can stay laser-focused on a single toy for an impressively long stretch. She’s gentle, calm, and kind to everyone she meets—her only known rivals so far are puffball toys and water bowls (though the water fountain remains undefeated… for now).


Personality Highlights

Secret Softie: Looks fierce, but is pure sweetness once you meet her.
Affection Lover: Especially enjoys pets around her face and neck.
Curious Explorer: Loves to investigate and understand her world.
Playtime Pro: Can stay happily entertained with one favorite toy.


Loves

  • Gentle pets and loving attention

  • Playing with toys (especially puffballs)

  • Watching and interacting with other cats

  • Exploring her environment at her own pace


Not a Fan Of

  • Being an only cat. She truly shines with a feline friend

  • Water bowls (still under investigation)


Ideal Home

Curiosity would thrive in:

  • A home with another friendly cat

  • Even better—a forever home with her buddy Marky Mark

  • A calm, loving environment where she can play and explore

  • People who appreciate a gentle, affectionate cat with a curious mind


Interested?

Curiosity is the best of both worlds: a sleek, panther-looking beauty with the heart of a total sweetheart. If you’re ready to welcome a loving, playful, and endlessly curious girl into your home, she’s ready to share all the affection she has to give.

Part of adopting a kitten is watching their personality continue to unfold, and Curiosity’s journey is sure to be a joyful one.

Prior to adoption, all kittens are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Curiosity is currently in a foster home. To meet her, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
