Sophia

Sophia is about 6 months old and is a female ginger-colored shorthair. She is affectionate and playful, and doesn't display any problematic or aggressive behaviors - just a normal, nice cat! She's even easy to get in her cat carrier and knows when to knock it off if you correct her behavior 2 or 3 times.

Sophia prefers to sleep with people, but does not raise a fuss if I'm not in the mood and close my door for the night. She'll often follow me around the house and want to be in my lap or nearby, but she also likes her alone time. She loves playing with toys and can often entertain herself.

Sophia followed me home one night on my block and was very clear that she wanted to be indoors, so I let het in. I verified she was not previously microchipped, took her to PAWS to get her spayed, chipped, and all of her key shots. She is negative for both FLV and FELV.

She'll make a great pet for someone looking for companionship!
