Sophie is a sophisticated 6yo lady looking for a quiet retirement from the hustle and bustle of shelter life. Having lived in a senior-only apartment, she dreams of a peaceful home where "brushes and biscuits" are the daily priority. While she might take a moment to interview new visitors from under the bed, once you're in her inner circle, you'll be treated to her signature "face-in-palm" snuggles and a purr that never stops.
IN-SHELTER NOTES AND IDEAL HOME;
SIZE: Large (6.5kg, 14lbs) overweight
HOME TYPE: Adult-only or Senior home. She flourished in a quiet apartment previously and finds busy environments overwhelming. A calm, predictable space is her "happy place."
CHILDREN: No experience; due to her timid nature and history of hiding from visitors, she is best suited for an adult-only home.
OTHER ANIMALS: She was the only animal in her previous home. While she is gentle, she likely prefers being your one-and-only or living with a very calm, hands-off feline friend.
ACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL: Low but playful! While she's a professional snuggler, she still has a "kitten side" and loves crinkle balls, rope, and wand toys.
HUMAN COMPATIBILITY/SOCIABILITY: She may hide from strangers, but with her person, she is incredibly affectionate, offering head butts and resting her face on their arms.
FAVOURITE THINGS: Grooming/Brushing (she loves this!), making biscuits, wand toys, and head scratches.
INPORTANT NOTES: Potential history of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis. Will need a calm and relaxed home to prevent urinary concerns arising. A Veterinary Technician will meet with you prior to adoption to discuss her history and provide a clear plan for her at-home medical care and stress management.
All animals at HSLM are under the constant, watchful care of our dedicated Animal Health and Behavior teams. To ensure every pet is ready for their forever home, an animal may be temporarily removed from our website at any time for observation, further testing, or behavior assessment should a concern arise. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the health and happiness of our animals!
