Available for adoption through Tender Loving Cats
Halloween is a beautiful, long-haired tuxedo cat with a heart full of love and a soft, affectionate nature. While she may be a bit shy at first, she blossoms into a devoted companion once she feels safe. She absolutely loves pets and lap time, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle, affectionate cat to curl up with.
This elegant girl thrives in a calm environment where she can adjust at her own pace. She enjoys lounging in cozy spots, watching the world from a sunny window, and, most of all, receiving endless affection from her favorite humans. Halloween would do best with an experienced adopter and in a home with children over 14, as she can become overstimulated and may nip when she’s had enough. Despite this, she is incredibly loving and eager to find a patient, understanding home where she can truly shine.
