Check out her foster adventures on Instagram @dupontluckycats Name: Tapioca  Best Guess for Breed:  Domestic Short Hair Age: 2 years (Estimated DOB: 7/18/2021)  SEX:  Female Approximate Weight:  5.5 lbs as of 10/11  Coloring: Brown & White Tabby  Type of Hair: Short Gets Along With: With proper integration, Tapioca should get along with other cats and older kids (loud noises can be too much for her). Dogs are a little scary for her too. Currently Living at: DC area foster home I am Looking For: My forever home! Hi- I'm Tapioca - a gorgeous girl looking for a home of my own. I won’t ask for much...just some love, cuddles and a sunny place to nap. And maybe a few toys too!  What My Foster Says About Me: Tapioca is a sweet and calm cat that is Miss Independent.  While she loves to be pet and has an amazing purr, she is quite introverted and prefers to hang out on her own and watch your every move from afar. She's super easy to care for, not at all demanding, and even entertains herself playing sometimes (but does enjoy playing with a feather wand, too!). While she welcomes attention when you approach her, she is still reticent to approach people and she doesn't like being picked up. She is overhwhelmed larger spaces and would do best in a cozy, quiet home. But once you get on her level, though, she’ll purr away loudly, headbutt incessantly, and literally drool with happiness at the attention! With time, I think she'll grow into a loving companion once you earn her trust! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for adult cats will be $200 ($350 for two cats adopted together). The adoption fee for a kitten (under 7 months old) is $220 ($380 for two kittens adopted together). If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckycat.
