Millie

Color: DSH Dark Tortoiseshell
Age: Born Approx. September 7, 2015
Gender: Spayed Female, microchipped

Personality:

Millie is a little sweetie. The strange thing about this ten year old tortoiseshell is that though she is almost an average sized cat, she seems small! Her face is small and sweet, her feet are tiny and her voice is almost inaudible. But when she is happy, which is much of the time, she uses that little voice to trill and purr.

Adopted from PAW eight years ago, she was recently given up again, as her person was moving, and didn’t want to bring her along. But Millie adapted to her changed situation very well. She is not shy with new people; if you want to fuss over her, she’ll let you. She’s that reasonable. She enjoys being petted and stroked, especially on the top of her head; you can rub that smooth round top quite vigorously; she won’t mind.

Though she likes people, it may be a bit of time before she wants to sit next to you; near you may do for the first while. We don’t know whether she’ll want to lie on the bed with her person, as there are rather too many cats in her current foster-home for that situation to arise. But we suspect she would like it. In the meantime, she’ll explore and get to know her new world.

On the subject of cats, Millie isn’t fond of her own species. She may choose as a friend a quiet, non-invasive feline, someone who doesn’t bother her; such a friendship would take time, though. She doesn’t care at all for a cat who is too froward and rambunctious. She’s a little introvert and minds her own business.

Millie’s a healthy cat, with very soft fur – and a little orange tip on her tail. She was on a dry-food only diet in her previous home, but has taken to wet-food very nicely; she hurries over to her hand-delivered dish of tinned food and, though she may not eat all of it at once, it all goes eventually.

If you are looking for an only-cat, or someone who will make just a little dent in a quiet household, you may be looking for Millie.
