Gwynnie - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Amherst, Massachusetts

Meet Gwynnie!

A sweet three-and-a-half-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Oceanside, CA, whose affectionate spirit and playful personality shine through her sleek black coat.

Gwynnie is a people-loving girl who knows how to make cuddle time extra special! Settle into a comfy spot, and she may climb onto your lap and begin making her adorable “happy paws,” kneading away while enjoying your company. She does not particularly enjoy being held, but she loves choosing closeness on her own terms. She can be shy initially, then blossoms into a friendly companion once she feels comfortable. She has a special fondness for men and happily gravitates toward the men in her family.

When Gwynnie is ready for action, she makes her intentions charmingly clear by bringing her favorite toy to her people! She loves chasing toys up and down the stairs, relaxing on her cat perch, enjoying treats, and enthusiastically celebrating wet food. Life with Gwynnie offers a delightful combination of playful bursts, cozy lap time, and plenty of feline personality!

Gwynnie needs to be the only cat in her new loving home. She has become increasingly uncomfortable sharing her environment with other cats, including hissing, swatting, and occasional marking outside her litter box. However, there's wonderful news! Since being given her own separate space away from the other cat, Gwynnie has stopped marking entirely and consistently uses her litter box. This encouraging improvement suggests that a calm, cat-free environment may help her maintain these positive habits.

Gwynnie has no bite history and has not shown aggression toward people. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is compatible with calm, respectful, school-age children and older. Her compatibility with dogs has not been assessed. A gradual transition, beginning in a comfortable contained space before expanding her access, will help her settle in.

Gwynnie needs a family who enjoys companionship and can spend plenty of time with her. Could this happy-pawed, toy-delivering girl be the companion ready to brighten your days?
