My story

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

Bastet is the affectionate, cuddly, and curious companion you’ve been searching for!

Named after the Egyptian goddess of protection, pleasure, and good health, she lives up to her name bringing comfort, charm, and plenty of joy to any home lucky enough to have her. At 12 years old, Bastet is a seasoned observer who guards her domain from sunny, elevated lounging spots, keeping a gentle watch over everything below.

This sweet, vocal lady absolutely adores being held. The moment she settles into your arms, she melts into a purring bundle of contentment. Wonderfully expressive, she uses her delicate, endearing meows when it is mealtime or to ask for some attention. Despite her chatty nature, Bastet is a very polite: she saves her commentary for waking hours and only rarely offers input during work calls, making her an ideal work-from-home companion who’s always ready for a midday cuddle break.

Bastet loves to be involved in the day-to-day happenings of her home. She’ll happily shadow you as you move from room to room. That said, she’s very much a low-energy queen, preferring lazy days and cozy evenings spent curled up on a warm lap.

Although she has lived with another cat previously, she would do best in a quiet home with other low energy pets where she can roam peacefully.
