Meet Jewel!

This gorgeous 3-year-old Himalayan beauty is named for her stunning, sparkling eyes that are sure to steal your heart. Jewel may initially come across as a bit of a grumpy old lady, but beneath that serious expression is a cat who absolutely loves attention, pets, and being close to her people.

Jewel adores being brushed, enjoys soaking up affection, and would happily spend her evenings curled up beside you. In fact, one of her favorite things is sleeping with her foster and keeping her favorite human company.

While she tolerates other cats, Jewel can be easily intimidated by more outgoing felines and prefers companions who respect her space. She would thrive as an only cat or in a home with calm, respectful cats who won't invade her personal bubble.

Jewel does have food allergies, and her foster has worked diligently to find a diet that keeps her comfortable. After much trial and error, we've discovered that she does wonderfully on a homemade bison-based diet. When fed other foods, she becomes very itchy and can scratch herself raw, so her future family will need to be committed to maintaining her special diet.

Jewel is spayed, vaccinated, negative for FelV/FIV, and microchipped. She's ready to find a home where she can be cherished, pampered, brushed regularly, and loved for the beautiful, affectionate girl she truly is.

The adoption fee for this cat is $500.

The Himalayan cat breed is known for its stunning beauty and affectionate nature. With a luxurious long coat, striking blue eyes, and distinctive color points similar to the Siamese breed, Himalayans are popular among cat lovers worldwide. They are gentle, calm, and enjoy cuddling with their owners, making them wonderful companions for families and individuals alike. Despite their regal appearance, Himalayans are playful and sociable cats that thrive in loving homes where they can receive attention and care.

The Persian cat is a beloved breed known for its luxurious, long fur, flat face, and gentle temperament. Originating from Persia, now Iran, Persians are characterized by their round faces, short noses, and large, expressive eyes. These affectionate and calm cats make wonderful indoor companions, thriving in a peaceful and quiet environment. Persians require regular grooming to maintain their stunning coat and are prone to some health issues due to their flat facial structure.
