Meet Purrada!

This one-year-old tabby girl has a wonderfully smooshy face, adorably large eyes, and a long, slim little frame! She may look like she’s perpetually trying to figure out what’s going on, but we promise there’s a sweet girl behind those silly features.

Purrada can be a little hesitant when meeting new people, especially when it comes to hands reaching toward her. She’ll sometimes slink away, only to circle right back and rub against the kennel bars like she’s reconsidered her decision to be shy. Once she’s comfortable, though, you’ll see her softer side come out. She has leaned into cheek scratches, happily hung out nearby while staff worked on their laptop, and even enjoyed being picked up while staying loose and relaxed.
She’s also a big fan of slow blinks, crunchy treats, and especially, Churu. She will eagerly lick it right off your fingers!

Purrada is also a BIG fan of other cats. She loves rubbing on her feline friends and seems to take comfort from having a buddy around. She and her friend Posh have been spotted cuddling together, and Purrada often looks to her cat companions for a little extra confidence. A home with a friendly feline friend could be a wonderful fit for this sweet girl.

When it comes to playtime, Purrada is more of a “let me see what you're doing” kind of girl. She may watch a toy for a while before deciding she has better things to do, but she has absolutely enjoyed interactive fishing-line style toys and wand play when she's in the mood.

Purrada may need a little time to warm up, but once she feels safe, her sweet and social personality starts to shine. And honestly, between her funny little face, love of Churu, appreciation for cat cuddles, and occasional purring sessions, she has plenty of personality to share.
