Story
Meet Celeste! 🦉✨
For her first week with me, I called her "Little One." She was a tiny, nervous kitten hiding out in my downstairs bathroom, trying to decide if I could be trusted. A friend told me she was lucky she found her "Big One" to nurse her back to health after being found in a compost bin. Now she's 5 months old, way more confident, and ready for the last step: finding her “Forever One.”
Celeste is named after the owl from Animal Crossing, and it fits: she has big green sparkly eyes and is always looking around, taking in every little thing like a tiny owl on lookout duty. She's a medium-haired girl with greyish brown stripes, with sweet and playful with energy for days. Give her a wand or string toy and she'll chase it for hours on end (your arm will get tired long before she does). When you need a break, she's happy to bat a toy mouse or ball around on her own.
The thing that surprised us most? At night she wants to sleep on the bed, usually right on top of me, and sometimes she'll ask to burrow under the covers until she gets too warm. So she's an owl by day and a puppy in disguise by night.
She does need a minute with new people. Celeste likes to watch from a distance and make up her own mind about people, and when she's given that space, she comes around, especially to whoever is giving her food and treats.
Celeste lives with a calm adult cat named Bean and follows her around like a big sister. She'd do well with a patient, mellow cat like Bean or a playful buddy who can match her energy without getting too rough, and she'd also be fine as an only cat with someone who loves playtime. She isn't comfortable around kids, so a home with older children is best. Does not do well with dogs.
Her perfect person is patient. Expect her to hide for the first few days to a few weeks in a new home. Start her in a small, quiet room with plenty of food and treats and let her explore at her own pace. Once she settles in, she's a sweet and affectionate little roommate.
Celeste is spayed, microchipped, FeLV/FIV tested, and current on vaccines for her age. Adoption fee is $160 paid to Community Cat Advocates.
