My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi there! I’m Parsley, a tiny little girl with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love to give. I may be the smallest of my litter, but don’t let my size fool you — I’ve got a sweet spirit and a soft purr just waiting for the right person to share it with. Because I’m so petite, I can be a little shy around my bigger siblings, but when it’s just you and me? I absolutely shine. I love curling up close, nuzzling into gentle hands, and soaking up all the affection you’re willing to give. I'm the kind of companion who will quietly follow you from room to room, just happy to be near you. If you’re looking for a dainty, affectionate little sweetheart who will thrive with a bit of patience and a lot of love, I might be the perfect match for you. I may be small, but my heart is big — and it’s all yours if you’ll have me. Hoping to meet you soon!

Estimated Birthdate: 4/17/2025

Likes: Quiet time with my favorite humans and being held close and loved on.

Dislikes: Rough play or being overwhelmed by bigger cats and being left out — I may be quiet, but I love company!

Foster Update:  Week One:  Parsley hid at first but kept coming out to explore.  She followed me around a lot but didn't seem to want much affection and struggled to be let go if she felt restrained.  She loved playing with the flying feather toy.  Later in the week she would sit next to me on the couch with her paws and chest on my lap.   Week two:  She loves watching TV with me and after putting her paws and chest on my lap will crawl completely on my lap.  She has a very nice purr.  Her favorite place is between me and my laptop keyboard.  She really purrs like crazy when curled up there.

There are times when Parsley seems a little standoffish (especially with new people), but if you stand still and put your hand down, there's a good chance she'll come over for some head scratches.  The way to her heart is to play with her with a toy bug on a string. She is an amazing girl who deserves someone who will play with her and love her.   PS:  You can also make friends with Parsley by offering her a small piece of cheese......she absolutely loves cheese.

To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application, which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication
