Pixie - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Bowie, Maryland

I’m a very sweet, purry girl who loves pets but I’m very shy. I started life outside so it took me a long time to be brave enough to cuddle with people. I like to sit quietly in a snuggly pile with my siblings, and I love to play with toys. I need someone to help me blossom into the sweet, confident cat I know I can be.

Hobbies: Hiding, napping, sneaking, lurking, spying, and playing

How I came to PGSPCA: My feral mama brought me to a lady that feeds community cats. I got startled when the lady opened the door and I ran into her sunroom. The lady didn’t let me leave! She says inside is safe, warm, and dry, and outside is perilous. I’ve been living with her and her cats ever since.

Dream Family: I would like a quiet home with people who understand that I may take some time to come out of my shell. I love to play with my foster siblings but I am very shy of people. I want love but I’m scared to get it. I would like to live with another cat (maybe one of my siblings) who would help me with my confidence and play with me.
