What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:
An experienced cat owner is highly preferred, or even an experienced foster. Must have lots of space for her as she enjoys running around and playing. Lots of windows are good as well, she enjoys looking outside and smelling the fresh air.
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
She enjoys being high up so a tall cat tree or cat shelf would be good for her. She isn't cuddly but she will meow at you and rub against your hand. She loves her head pet especially her ears and her nose and between her eyes.
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Pet Behavior
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
We have a baby that is growing up and becoming more noisy, and our routine is always changing which causes her some anxiety and stress. She can also be territorial when it comes to smelling any outside cats or other cats in general, so she would thrive in a quiet and predictable home with people who can give her lots of love and attention. She is very social and outgoing and curious, but can get anxious when things change too much or smell like other animals.
