My story

Bumblebee is the ultimate mix of independent spirit and affectionate companion. This sweet, playful girl was rescued from a life on the streets where she raised her kittens with care, and now it's her turn to enjoy the good life in a home of her own. At heart, Bumblebee is a true buddy cat who will follow you from room to room, squeak at you for conversation, and curl up nearby to keep you company throughout the day. She has the playful energy of a kitten (without the chaos), entertaining herself for hours with her favorite pom-pom toys, swatting at hanging balls, and inventing games with her spring-loaded track toys—which she somehow manages to dismantle for extra fun. She's a big fan of "cat TV" too. Turn on a video of birds or squirrels and she’ll be front and center, perched on the TV stand and tapping at the screen with wide-eyed fascination. Bumblebee loves to play with humans, happily chasing tossed toys or going after the wand toy with gusto. She's been trying hard to befriend the other cats in her foster home—inviting them to play, taking turns chasing, and even trying to snuggle. She plays gently, keeping her claws tucked, and has a great instinct for reading the room. While she’s still working on gaining full trust from her feline roommates, she clearly enjoys having cat companions around. She’s not a lap cat just yet, but she’ll lie beside you on the couch, sleep at the foot of your bed, and follow you into every room (even the shower, where she’ll chime in with concerned squeaks). She loves to be brushed and petted, and her purrs rev up in anticipation. Belly rubs are sometimes accepted—just beware the playful trap! Bumblebee is still learning that being picked up is okay, and while she’s a little squirmy, she no longer gets scared. She's making steady progress every day and responds especially well to consistency, conversation, and quiet companionship. She would thrive in a calm, patient home with someone who works from home or is around often, and who enjoys spending time interacting with a social, chatty cat. She’s cautious around strangers and loud noises but won’t typically leave the room. Given time and space, she warms up and may even grace a quiet teen or gentle visitor with her presence. Bumblebee is a special cat who gives as much as she gets. Whether she’s running to greet you, squeaking for attention, or trying to befriend your other cats, she makes it clear: she wants to be part of your world. If you’re looking for a playful, people-oriented companion who will keep you smiling, Bumblebee might just be your perfect match. Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet this cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adoptJune 25, 2025, 7:10 pm

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