Persian kittens & cats in Waynesville, North Carolina

Meemaw spent her life deeply treasured by her previous owner, and that kind of love leaves a lasting imprint. She knows how to share a home, how to sit quietly beside her person, and how to offer steady companionship that feels comforting and true. After her owner passed away, Meemaw was given a new opportunity — a chance to once again give her heart to someone special. Shelter life has been an adjustment with its new sights, sounds, and routines, but she’s navigating it in her own thoughtful way. Each day she grows a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more comfortable in this new chapter. Meemaw is a lady who prefers to be admired before she’s adored. She enjoys attention from a respectful distance and is still building the confidence to fully lean into pets. There’s something incredibly special about earning the trust of a cat like her — watching her soften, seeing her eyes relax, knowing she’s choosing to feel safe with you. She loves treats (they are absolutely her love language), enjoys observing the world from a cozy perch, and takes life at her own unhurried pace. She would thrive in a calm, peaceful home where patience is offered freely and quiet companionship is valued. Meemaw has lived with other cats in the past and may do well with a respectful feline friend.
