Joyce - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:
I have been working with the Behavior team here at OHS and am looking for a special home. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.
To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
Fearful Behavior: I can be worried about new people or new surroundings. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to go home to a calm environment.
I am a sweet and sensitive girl who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.
I really love snuggling with other kitties, they really help me feel safe. I have positive history living with other cats in my previous home, and I have made a few feline friends while at the shelter. I would love a home with a calm kitty companion.
I may be shy at first, but once I feel comfortable my sweet and affectionate nature shines through. Cheek and chin scratches make me melt!
I am a laid back kitty who loves to lounge around and savor the simple joys of life, like laying in the sun, curling up in a soft bed, and eating yummy treats. Churus are my absolute favorite! But I also really love munching on crunchy treats too! Would you like to share some with me?
I may enjoy casually batting at a feather wand toy every now and then, but my favorite activity is relaxing in the best spots around the house. Do you have a cozy bed by the window for me? I love to watch birds while I relax!
I'm not overly needy and I'm happy to hang out while you binge watch your favorite TV show or read a book. Are you looking for a couch companion?
The type of home I'm looking for:
I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
I need to go to a home where there is another cat to help boost my confidence.
