Halcyon - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Alexandria, Virginia

Halcyon is the kind of girl who makes it very easy to fall in love. Estimated to be about 3 years old, this gorgeous seal point polydactyl beauty has adorable extra toes, an even bigger personality, and so much love to give.

Haley, as her friends call her, is an absolute sweetheart who believes affection should be given generously. She loves handing out head boops, making biscuits on anything sufficiently cozy, and curling up close for a good cuddle. She’s also quite the conversationalist and happily chats and chirps with her foster mom throughout the day, making sure her opinions are always heard.

Don’t let all that cuddling fool you though, Haley knows how to PLAY. Bring out a wand toy and this girl transforms into an athlete, launching herself impressively high into the air to catch her prize with those ridiculously cute thumbs. Her combination of beauty, sweetness, silliness, and extra toes makes her pretty unforgettable.

When it comes to sharing her kingdom, Haley would prefer not to. She isn’t particularly fond of other animals and we think she’ll be happiest as a solo cat where she can soak up all the human attention without having to compete for it. A family who works from home or has a hybrid schedule would be especially wonderful for this social girl, since having her people nearby is one of her favorite things.

Haley is ready for a home where the toys are plentiful, the blankets are soft, the conversations go both ways, and all the love can belong to her.
