My story

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

Foxy Carter thrives on gentle attention and loves being close to her people! If you enjoy quiet evenings on the couch, she will happily settle right beside you, soaking up pets and returning affection with contented purrs. Chin scratches are a particular favorite, and she has a wonderfully calming presence that makes relaxing together feel easy and natural. Foxy is especially affectionate when she feels safe and comfortable, and she has a sweet habit of leaning into pets to show just how much she enjoys them.

Foxy has a tender, expressive way of connecting with the people she loves. When she feels playful, she will roll over to show her belly and often enjoys gentle belly rubs. She also likes to greet her favorite people with soft nose to nose touches when you are lying nearby. Foxy also likes to gently use her voice at times and may express a few meows when she sees you in the kitchen around her mealtime, or if she finds herself briefly separated from you and would rather keep you company. Although she is a couch potato at heart, she also enjoys simple toys like yarn, sturdy cat tree, and having some open space to run around when the mood strikes!

As a long-haired beauty, Foxy benefits from regular brushing to help keep her coat soft and free of tangles, and she has been very tolerant and cooperative with gentle grooming. She is also working toward a healthy goal weight and does best with carefully selected, portioned meals and a consistent daily routine—something she has adjusted to beautifully in foster care. Foxy would be happiest in a relatively quiet home where she can lounge comfortably and regularly receive the one-on-one attention. She is a wonderful match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate companion who wants to share their space, enjoy peaceful routines, and build a close and loving bond over time.
