American Shorthair kittens & cats in Mapleton, Utah

We found Mable abandoned on the side of the road as a kitten. We took her in and she has been a great cat, but she has recently been escaping almost constantly and with little kids, we can’t seem to keep her in the house no matter what we’ve tried. We would love for her to go to a home where she can either be an indoor cat and get the attention she needs to feel fully stimulated indoors, or a home where she can be an indoor/outdoor cat but where she will be safe to roam. She’s a sweet cat who loves cuddles in the mornings and at night before bed. She is very active and loves toys. She is very opinionated and doesn’t like to be bothered when she’s not ready for attention, but when she is she loves toys cuddle.

Pickles is calm and gentle and is 11 years old but is still spry. She does all her bathroom business outside so I've never had to have a litter box for her in the house. She likes to be outside a lot when the weather is warmer, and likes to stay indoors more often when it's colder. She is good with people, but not other animals. She eats dry food primarily with the occasional salmon treat.

I am devastated writing this. Heartbroken pulling up photos of her to post. But my son has an allergy to her and it is getting worse as time goes on. We have been wavering on this decision for two years now because it breaks our hearts. Everest is 6 years old. Her birthday is June 8, 2020. She is very sweet, friendly and loving. If you are sitting still she will find a way to your lap. She has been mostly indoor her whole life but because of my son’s allergy she has been exploring outdoor more often and actually loves it. She stays very close to home. Rarely wanders out of our yard and come inside to eat and hang out with us. She is litter trained and always has been. She is very good with kids, is still playful and also prefers to come to you while you are lounging. She also lives with dogs and is totally fine with them. Just prefers them to stay outside her bubble. She prefers kibble. Doesn’t love wet food. She also asks for us to turn the sink on for her to drink.
