My story

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

Spatzle is a petite, beautiful brown tabby with a gentle soul and a quiet charm that grows on you fast!

At just over 3 years old, she’s the kind of cat who settles in nicely and brings a calm, comforting presence to her home. She enjoys peaceful companionship and thrives in a relaxed environment where she can feel safe and loved. Spatzle has been living in foster care and has done wonderfully there. She’s shown that once she’s comfortable, she’s an easygoing, sweet girl who appreciates routine and stability. She would do best with adopters who enjoy a mellow cat and understand that the best relationships are built on patience and trust.

Spatzle does have stable asthma, which is currently managed with an inhaler. She’s been receiving it twice a day but may be able to transition to once daily in a home setting if she continues doing well! She’s also had a past episode of cystitis (bladder inflammation), which responded well to treatment and has not been an issue in foster care. Overall, she’s been feeling good and well cared for with a consistent routine. She’s ready for a loving home where she can relax, breathe easy, and enjoy the quiet comforts of being someone’s special girl. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key companion and are comfortable supporting a cat with manageable medical needs, Spatzle could be a wonderful match.

If you are interested in adopting Spatzle, please email greta242@gmail.com to arrange an initial meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
