April

My story

April: The Fluff Queen Who’s Spent 1,430+ Days Waiting to Rule Your Heart! 👑🐾 Hey there, hooman. I’m April—a fluffy, fabulous feline with a BIG personality and a royal presence, and I’ve been patiently waiting over 1,430 days (yep, that’s almost 4 years!) for my forever castle. I’ve got my crown polished, my sass dialed in, and my purrs ready—now I just need you. Let’s get one thing straight: I’m an independent lady. I enjoy affection, but only when I decide it’s time for royal snuggles. Not in the mood? You’ll get “the look” (don’t worry—you’ll know it when you see it). I’m not a fan of being picked up either, but once we’ve built trust, you’ll be rewarded with head bonks, chin scritches, and the occasional purring approval. What do I love? 👯‍♀️ Other cats! I’m a social gal—just on my terms. I do best with fellow felines who are gentle, friendly, and understand that I like a slow hello. Once I feel comfy, I’m all about playtime, naps, and squad hangs. A home with another respectful cat buddy? Yes, please. What I’m not into: 🚫 Chaos, loud noises, or tiny humans. 🚫 Being picked up like a sack of potatoes (I have royal dignity, after all). 🚫 Being rushed—patience wins this queen’s heart. I thrive on routine and love knowing what to expect—give me a sunny spot, a cozy perch, and some time to warm up, and I’ll show you my sweet, silly side. My journey hasn’t been the easiest (I was once a sick little street cat), but with love and care, I’ve grown into a playful, curious, and affectionate girl… on my terms, of course. April’s Fun Facts: ✨ 1,430+ days of shelter life, still waiting for my happily ever after ✨ A total softie—inside and out ✨ Loves respectful cat friends, playtime, and cozy vibes ✨ Perfect for a patient, cat-savvy human who respects her space ✨ A beautiful mix of sass, sweetness, and smarts Ready to give this independent queen her long-overdue castle? If you’ve got a calm home, a big heart, and a little patience, April’s ready to give you her whole (fluffy) heart. Let’s end her wait—she’s more than earned her happily ever after. 💛 Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying!
