Tequila is a beautiful 1-year-old girl with soft, shiny fur and bright, inquisitive eyes that are always watching to see what you’re doing next. She has that sleek, healthy glow that makes you want to run your hands over her coat—though on her terms, of course. Petite but full of presence, she carries herself with the confidence of a tiny queen. Whether she’s perched nearby supervising dinner prep or stretched out dramatically across the couch, Tequila makes sure she’s the center of your world in the most charming way possible.

Personality-wise, Tequila is truly a toddler in a cat’s body. She follows her people everywhere—into the kitchen to “help” cook (and keep an eye out for any falling snacks), to the desk while you’re doing homework or working on the computer, and yes, even to the bathroom, because privacy simply does not exist when you have a toddler. Leave food unattended and it may mysteriously disappear—though she will absolutely swear it wasn’t her. She’s a social butterfly with endless energy, obsessed with toys of all kinds: balls, catnip-filled mice, and even pens she cheekily steals from the table. While she’s not a fan of small children and prefers to retreat to high, safe spots away from grabby hands, she’s not aggressive—she just values her space and her fabulous fur. She would do best with older, respectful kids who understand she doesn’t like to be picked up and carried (she’ll protest loudly if you try!). Tequila is looking for a devoted mommy or daddy who will spoil her with yummy food, new toys, and plenty of attention—because this lively little girl is ready to keep her person company all day, every day.
