Domestic Shorthair

Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Munchkin is an incredibly affectionate cat with an adorably unique personality. We brought her in with her 2 brothers in 2020 with the hope to adopt them all out but she ended up going with my mother while her brothers found new homes. She loves people and dogs but tends to get stressed by other cats. In the last few months, I unfortunately got laid off from my job right after making the decision to separate from my partner resulting in my needing to move back home. I have two already bonded cats, one of which does not get along with Munchkin. We also will be needing to move out of state by middle of 2026 and almost every place we could rent from will only allow 2 cats. With all of these factors in mind, my mother and I agreed that Munchkin should be the one rehomed since the other cat is bonded to my elderly senior cat, who we don't want to stress further than necessary. She is honestly a truly great cat who deserves a home where she can be prioritized and live peacefully.
