Don’t let her name fool you, Muffin is no wall flower. At 15+, this mature black beauty has been around the block a few times.
Muffin scored big and gets to spend her time in a nice foster home. She’s quite a character and has shown how happy she can be in a quiet home environment.
Her foster person reports that the biggest change since Muffin moved out of the shelter is that she is a lover. She likes to sit in a lap and will settle down quickly to be petted. If you get distracted and stop petting her, she puts her front paws on your chest and rubs her head against you until you pet her. Once she’s satisfied, she leans against your shoulder for a while to be petted more. These days, she’s settled into a routine. Right after her meals, she likes to come over and talk to her foster dad until he picks her up. Muffin is OK with a lap, but what she really wants is to be cradled like a baby and cuddled. Foster dad supports her with one arm, holding her against his chest, and she’ll just settle right down and start purring. Muffin will stay for about 10-15 minutes, then she’ll go off and lie down in her bed. She needs at least 2-3 cuddles per day or she gets cranky and will tell her foster dad all about it.
In summary, Muffin is an older gal who needed a little time to adjust to her surroundings. She’s a very sweet cat once she settles in. She’s not a kitten any more, but if someone is looking for a low key friend who is fine with just hanging out, she’ll be a great companion. If you think you could give Muffin her forever home, please call the shelter and make an appointment to meet this special girl.
