Watson is a stunning long-haired tortoiseshell girl with an estimated birthday of February 13, 2025—and she’s just as unique as her beautiful coat. She’s the kind of cat who likes to take things in at her own pace. New people and situations might earn a cautious hiss at first, but give her a little time and you’ll quickly see her true self: a total sweetheart.
Watson is curious about the world around her, including other cats and even dogs. She may act tough during introductions, but curiosity always wins out. She allows herself to be picked up and carried (even if she’d prefer to keep all four paws on the ground), and she never stops trying to explore her space—even when she’s feeling unsure.
Playtime is one of Watson’s favorite things. She loves toys, especially wand toys, and is known to go “shopping” in the toy bin to pick out her favorites. A good scratching post is a must, and fair warning: if there’s dog food within reach, Watson will absolutely try to steal it.
If Watson had a job, she’d be a security guard—always keeping tabs on who’s where, what everyone’s doing, and making sure the household stays in line.
Most of all, Watson is incredibly brave. After being with her previous family since she was just a few weeks old, she’s faced big changes with courage, curiosity, and an open heart—still exploring, still accepting pets, still learning to trust.
Watson is looking for a patient, loving home that will let her settle in at her own speed and appreciate the loyal, playful, watchful companion she’s becoming. Once she chooses you, she’s all in.
