Millie - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Springfield, Missouri

Hi, I'm Millie... but my friends call me the Potato Princess!

I am a beautiful all-black kitty who's about 6 to 7 years old and a delightfully cuddly 12 pounds (I could lose a few pounds) . My shape has been described as "adorable potato," complete with tiny little legs and the cutest small paws. Personally, I think it's a very regal look.

When I move somewhere new, I can be a little shy at first. Big changes are a lot for a princess! But if you give me a little time, a quiet place to settle in, and some patience, I'll soon show you my true personality. Once I know you're my person, I'm incredibly loving.

I absolutely adore being petted, and if you offer me belly rubs, we'll probably become best friends. I also don't mind being picked up and held—honestly, I think cuddles are one of life's greatest luxuries.

I'm also quite the conversationalist. I love chatting with my humans and will happily exchange little meows with you throughout the day. Tell me about your day, and I'll tell you about mine!

I'm litter box trained and enjoy a calm, peaceful home where I can spend my days lounging in cozy spots. One of my favorite activities is sitting by the window, watching birds and keeping an eye on everything happening outside. It's very important princess business.

I currently live with another cat (Minnie- also available for adoption with Rescue One), so I know how to share my kingdom. If you have another furry friend, I'll just need a little time, space, and patient introductions before we become roommates. I like to get to know everyone at my own pace.

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who loves cuddles, conversations, lazy afternoons, and will happily serve as your official couch potato, I think we'd make the perfect match.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a window to supervise and some belly rubs to collect. I can't wait to meet you!
