Tappy

My story

Meet Tappy: Queen of Cozy, Cat TV Critic, and Professional Lap Warmer 👑🐾 Tappy didn’t have the easiest start in life, but these days, she’s all about the soft things, warm spaces, and front-row seats to Cat TV. (YouTube bird cams? 5 stars. Squirrels? Must-see TV. Fish videos. Yes, please.) Tappy’s favorite place? Curled up on your lap or lounging near her heating pad, ideally in a toasty room with questionable air conditioning. She adores chin scratches, meeting new people, and voicing her opinions—loudly and proudly—from across the house. This girl is communicative, expressive, and sweet as sugar... with just a hint of diva. 💅 Because of some back and mobility issues, Tappy can be a little wobbly and needs help accessing high spaces (pet stairs = game changer). But don’t worry—she’ll stay off your counters and stay close to where their are snuggles and pets. She moves at her own gentle pace and prefers a human who’s got a little chill or can match her slow, cozy vibe. Quick movements aren’t her thing, and she appreciates being approached with kindness and respect. Tappy’s currently on a kidney-friendly diet (not her favorite, but she will eat kidney-friendly kibble and loves some tasty wet food). She’s living peacefully in a home with two guinea pigs and a small dog. While she prefers her own floor, she coexists just fine when they’re in the same space. A home with another mellow animal could be a fit. She’d also do well with older, cat-savvy kids who understand that Tappy is not a toy—she’s an ornament, and one must not jostle the ornament. 🎀 If your dream night involves soft lighting, a purring cat, and a shared obsession with squirrel videos, Tappy is ready to be your new best friend. Dog sociability: Possibly after proper introduction. The fosters have a dog in the house, and they are beginning to work on slow introductions. She would likely do okay with a dog that respects her space. Likes: Chin scratches, head rubs, naps, cuddling, soft beds/caves, solo time, cat reality tv (aka cat YouTube). Dislikes: Touching her butt, loud noises, quick and sudden movements Cat sociability: Possible after proper introduction. Kid sociability: She has not had any interactions with kids. We would not recommend it, but she could be in a house with a 12+ year old. The adoption fee is sponsored thanks to a generous donor. All cats are up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tappy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
