Story
Tulip came to me from a friend who needed help caring for her and her sister. She never came back for them, and now they are looking to go to a loving home! Tulip and my other large cat do not get along, and it has had an effect on her. She is very skittish and will take a while to warm up to someone new. When she does get warmed up, she loves to snuggle and she loves scratches on the top of her head. She will spend hours walking on you, looking for pets! She will do best somewhere without dogs, kids, or a lot of loud noises. She doesn’t have a fair life with me and needs a quiet and calm home.

Story
I came to having this sweet kitty because my friend needed my help taking care of them while she was in the process of moving. Unfortunately she never came back. She does great with other cats, she will not mind dogs as long as they don’t bother her, and older children are fine though I think toddlers/babies may stress her out. She’s very vocal, cuddly, loving, and she loves to eat! She loves to follow you around and will sometimes be caught rubbing on my legs while I’m standing and doing something. She will make a great kitty for someone in need. She does have a sister and they have been together for a year+.
