Mouse - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Name: Mouse
Age: 1 year
Gender: Female
Adoption fee: $150
Cat friendly: Mostly — has a peaceful truce with a female resident cat (happy to share a bed or windowsill), but is still working things out with a dominant male resident cat, who likes to chase her
Dog friendly: Still a work in progress — a little overwhelmed by big dogs right now
Kid friendly: Unknown
Litter trained: Yes About me: Hi, I'm Mouse! Despite my name, I'm an explorer at heart — just a shy one. I'll happily curl up on your lap while you work at the computer, or flop down next to you on the floor and show off my belly for pets. I'm still figuring out the dog thing (my foster home has a 100 lb Newfie and she is A LOT for someone my size), but I'm doing great with most cats — my friend Violet and I have a perfect "ignore each other but share the windowsill" arrangement going. I do have one frenemy who likes to chase me, so I could use a home where I get a little space to feel secure. Fair warning: I am SUPER food motivated. Don't put your plate down unless you're prepared to share — I have personally sampled pasta, cheese, pizza crust, and yogurt, and I regret nothing. I'm still pretty tiny and a little boney with a scruffy coat, so I'm looking forward to some good meals and lots of love to help me fill out and shine. I purr a LOT, and I think that says it all — I'm ready for my family!
