Florence - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Seattle, Washington

Please read through the entire posting and requirements before applying via our questionnaire at alleycatproject.org/adopt
Please do not submit an inquiry via Petfinder.

Meet Florence, a gorgeous torbie with a stubby tail that she loves to wag when she’s happy! She is approximately 5-6 years old and endlessly affectionate.

This affectionate and silly lady loves to snuggle up on your lap even if her limbs awkwardly dangle off here or there. She loves taking treats from your hand but may give you a judgy look if it’s not a flavor she prefers. Her favorite things include a freshly laundered blanket to nap on and a shiny ribbon toy she can hunt.

Florence had a rough time the last few years living outside and has been an excellent, caring mom to several litters of kittens, but she is ready to retire from having babies and live a life of pampering and leisure. She’s certainly earned it.

She can get a little nervous and doesn’t always trust new people right away, so she needs a kind and patient guide to help her feel safe and comfy. But while shy at first, she shows her affectionate side pretty quickly in the right home. She LOVES her new life indoors and will communicate it with gentle head butts, weaving around your legs looking for some affection and snuggles, and even inviting the occasional belly rub.

What Florence is looking for in a home:

- She feels at ease in a quiet and calm environment.
- She needs to live indoors only.
- She may prefer to be the only cat in the house, as she has not gotten along with other adult cats in her foster home.
- She has no known history with dogs.
- She needs children to respect her space and boundaries but will accept gentle pets and snuggles once she knows them.

All Alley Cat Project’s cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption.

Alley Cat Project adoption fees are:

- $200 per cat or kitten
- $350 for pair of cats or kittens
- $50 for senior cat (over 8 years old)
- Flexible reduced fees for a cat with a chronic medical condition that requires ongoing care
- Additional charitable donations are appreciated and support our overall rescue efforts

Thank you for your interest in adopting Florence! If your household fits the above criteria, you can apply to adopt her by filling out this questionnaire: alleycatproject.org/adopt
