Learn MoreGypsy was brought to our partner shelter as a pregnant stray. She had 5 babies in early April. She was an excellent mom and spent all her time making sure her babies were cleaned and well fed. Now the G Kittens are grown and ready for homes of their own, and Gypsy is ready to get lots of attention for herself. The shelter folks said she doesn’t mind other cats & dogs but would prefer if they give her some space.
Gypsy is very active and cuddly after work and right before you leave the house — she knows how to pull on your heart strings! She loves to be brushed, and is great about using her scratching post. Her foster is expanding Gypsy’s horizons with “music appreciation lessons” – at first, Gypsy wasn’t sure what to make of it when music was playing and would leave the room, but she is getting more relaxed about it. She is very well tempered and is okay with being picked up. She is usually pretty quiet, though she will often greet you with a meow when you wake up or when you come home from work. Gypsy loves her mouse toy, which her foster says will be a new-home gift to take with her upon adoption. Could Gypsy be the affectionate companion you’re looking for?
Estimated date of birth: September 2016.
