Mattie - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Springfield, Illinois

Meet Mattie!
Mattie is a stunning 2-year-old Torbie who blends gorgeous tortoiseshell colors with classic tabby stripes. She has adjusted beautifully to life at the cafe and is a wonderful feline citizen, getting along fantastic with all of her fellow cat roommates.

If you are looking for Mattie, your best bet is to look up! She is a natural-born climber who loves being way up high on the tallest cat trees and shelves, giving her the perfect royal vantage point to happily view her surroundings.

Mattie is a polite lady who appreciates good manners and mutual respect. She requires a tiny bit of trust-building before you dive into heavy pets. She loves a formal introduction-just extend your hand and let her sniff your fingers first! If you skip this step, she'll politely dodge you by moving her head back, but she won't run away; she's just waiting for a proper "hello." Once that initial boundary is respected, she settles right in.

Mattie would thrive in a home with people who appreciate a cat with great boundaries, a love for high spaces, and a sweet, social attitude toward other felines.

Come see her surveying her kingdom from the top shelf at The Cats' Pyjamas Cat Cafe, located at 524 E. Capitol Ave. in Springfield.
