Sunbeam

My story

Sweet, Gentle, Reserved Meet Sunbeam! This beautiful, sweet gal has been loving mama to her babies, but now that they’re more independent, she’s starting to come looking for pets and attention for herself. She’s calm, gentle, and a little reserved at first but friendly with people once they’ve gained her trust. Sunbeam can get curious once she gets comfortable in an environment, so giving her time to adjust is key. While she hasn’t been super cuddly yet, she’s been preoccupied taking care of her babies, so that might change once she’s fully retired from her mama duties. However, she is very good about being picked up; her foster believes that, with time and trust, she might be a wonderful cuddle buddy. While she occasionally enjoys playing, Sunbeam - like her name implies - enjoys taking lots of naps in the sun! She has a cute little gallop when she wants to play and makes cute little chirping noises when she wants attention. While she’s been around her kittens, she hasn’t interacted directly with other animals while in foster care. She has seen a few animals from windows and just seems curious rather than aggressive or afraid. Sunbeam prefers respectful children that let her adjust to them at her pace, as she can be timid with children she doesn’t know well or who are loud. A quieter home would probably be best for Sunbeam, as a busier and louder home might make her feel overwhelmed. She’d appreciate a patient person who is willing to build her trust and help her acclimate to her surroundings at her pace. Bonus points if you have prime sunny spots for her to snooze in and windows for her to watch the outside world! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
