Annabelle

My story

Straight out of a storybook and into your heart, Annabelle is a 2-year-old feline icon whose black-and-white markings look just like Annabelle the Cow from the beloved books. Yes, she knows she’s adorable. Yes, she will absolutely catch you staring at her. And yes… she will judge you (lovingly). Annabelle is a friendly, curious gal with penetrating, stop-you-in-your-tracks eyes that seem to say, “I know things.” She enjoys being part of the action, observing her kingdom, and checking out whatever you’re doing—but on her terms. Annabelle’s Personality, Unfiltered: Affectionate… with boundaries. She enjoys pets and attention in moderation and will politely (or not so politely) let you know when she’s had enough. Independent Queen Energy. She has no interest in sharing the spotlight with other cats and would prefer to be your one and only. Curious & Confident. She loves to explore, watch, and engage—without being smothered. Treat Tube Enthusiast. Churu, Lick-e-Lix, cat yogurt—whatever you call it, this is the way to her heart. Who Annabelle Is Looking For: Annabelle has a soft spot for people who respect her space, read her cues, and don’t insist on constant cuddles. If you’re the type who enjoys a cat that sits near you, watches you intently, and occasionally blesses you with affection, you may be her perfect match. She’s not a fan of other cats, and she doesn’t want to be fawned over—but earn her trust, offer a treat tube, and you’ll have a loyal, hilarious companion who chooses you. Annabelle isn’t just a cat—she’s a character. A cow-cat muse. A confident, quirky soul who knows exactly who she is and isn’t apologizing for it. If you’re looking for a cat with personality, presence, and boundaries (plus incredible markings), Annabelle is ready to move in and run the show.
