Lacey

Meet Lacey, a spirited and affectionate five-month-old tortoiseshell Domestic Shorthair from Philadelphia, PA, whose stunning black and orange coat is matched only by her big personality! At just five pounds, this petite little lady is bursting with energy, charm, and plenty of love to give. Lacey is a cuddle bug who thrives on human attention and will happily snuggle up for hours, purring contentedly as she soaks up every pet and scratch.

Lacey’s favorite pastime? Playing with a wand toy—she’ll chase, pounce, and bat at it with endless enthusiasm! She’s a natural hunter when it comes to play, keeping herself entertained for hours with her graceful, acrobatic moves. Despite her playful side, she’s also a certified snuggle master, always ready to curl up in your lap or nuzzle your neck. Lacey has a bit of a silly side too—she’s absolutely obsessed with having her butt scratched and will vocalize her approval with happy little meows!

This sweet girl is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and fully litter-trained, making her the perfect low-maintenance companion. She’s also incredibly affectionate, enjoying being picked up and never hesitating to greet her favorite humans (and even strangers!) with a friendly, vocal welcome.

While Lacey is a total love with people, she’s not a fan of other cats. Her past experience of being pregnant when rescued might have left her feeling a bit defensive around other felines, so she would do best as the only cat in her new home. However, given her playful and nurturing nature, she might get along with a young puppy if introduced properly. Her ideal home is one where she can be the star of the show—showered with love, playtime, and plenty of treats!

Lacey’s most endearing quality? Her snuggly, affectionate nature combined with a touch of sass. She’s a little string bean of a cat with the appetite of a hungry hippo—always ready for a snack and quick to remind you when it’s time for treats!

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and downright adorable companion to brighten your days, Lacey is your girl. Reach out today to meet this beautiful little tortie and start a new chapter filled with cuddles and purrs!
