Norwegian Forest Cat and Domestic Medium Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Winston-salem, North Carolina

Gigi - elegance, fluff, and queen‑level charm.

Nature’s beauty, your gentle shadow—Gigi’s ready to be your homebody companion.

She’s not just a cat—she’s a companion who talks to you, calls out when she can’t find you, and settles in close because your presence is her peace.

14# to 15# pounds of whisper-soft floof, forest-cat beauty, and soulful devotion.
Gigi is a 3-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat mix with mesmerizing green eyes, a regal frame, and a personality that’s equal parts gentle and expressive.

Her Story & Spirit
Gigi’s former owner was heartbroken to part with her due to a move. Now, Gigi waits patiently for someone who sees the depth behind her romantic gaze and understands her need for closeness.

Her ideal match? Someone retired or working from home, ready to share their days with a cat who truly connects is the adopter we are seeking for Gigi.

What Gigi Loves
• Sitting beside you, on you, or near you—always
• Gentle brushing and soft rubies
• Window gazing and quiet contemplation
• Toys when the mood strikes
• Calling out to her person when she’s unsure where you’ve gone

She’s laid-back, affectionate, and thrives in a peaceful home. Gigi would do well with a mellow male cat but is too dominant to share space with another female.

No dogs or young children, please—Gigi’s heart beats best in calm, respectful company.

Gigi is three years old, and she forms very deep bonds with her people. Because she has already experienced the loss of her original owner, we are being especially careful to place her in a home where she can remain for the rest of her life — ideally 12–15 more years, and someone that owns their own home, so she doesn't have to move once place. Our goal is to make sure she never has to experience another major transition or re-homing as a senior.
