Carmine is a 5-year-old female tortoiseshell cat with a beautiful and unique coat that showcases stunning shades of orange, black, and brown. Carmine will benefit from a very slow introduction to new places and people and a supportive approach to help her settle in. Treats and head pets are the way to her heart. She is gentle and very sweet but is fearful until she feels secure. She is good with other cats. She enjoys being pet and will follow you around and stay close once she settles in. She is very sweet and enjoys the company of other cats. Her foster says "She went from scared and jumpy all the time, to a very polite kitty who speaks to you with her big eyes. It is such a pleasure to watch Carmine melt the hearts of grumpy cats everywhere. Resident cat, who is notoriously possessive of his food, allows her to eat from his bowl while he's eating. That's insane, but she has that effect on other cats! She follows around resident cat - its extremely cute! Her tail goes up when she's next to him, and she likes doing things he does. She is still working on confidence with humans, but her fear is never aggressive." She loves to play and loves to be near and is social. She enjoys being pet and also likes her own space for rest and quiet.
Carmine is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and had preventative treatments to ensure she is ready for her new home.
