Meet Patricia – The Queen of Her Own Kingdom! Patricia is a strong-willed, independent lady who knows exactly what she wants—and she’s looking for a home that respects her royal decree! This fiercely confident feline is searching for a pet-free palace where she can be the one and only ruler of her domain.She loves to play, whether it’s chasing wand toys, batting at crinkle balls, or pouncing on anything that sparks her curiosity. Patricia also adores treats, Churu, wet food, and catnip, making playtime (and snack time) extra special.Her ideal home will give her the option to hang out in a secure screened-in porch during the day for some sun-soaked exploration, while still being inside at night to relax and recharge.
