Say hello to Cheshire Cat, a beautiful black tuxedo sweetheart that is not lacking in the personality department! This ball of love is ready to bring her joyful energy to a forever home where she can show off her sky-high vertical, have conversations about each other’s day and then snuggle up for all the scritches.

Cheshire Cat takes playtime to a whole new level as she is multi-talented in the activity department. Whether it’s gearing up for the 2026 World Cup by playing soccer with a ping pong ball or showing off her dribbling skills by bouncing that ping pong ball around the house, she’s pure entertainment.

Outside of interacting with her favorite toys, Cheshire Cat also loves, loves, LOVES to explore and show off with her somersault and leaping abilities. She will jump and climb wherever she can and really enjoys getting up somewhere high where she can lookout the window and watch the latest neighborhood CatTV episode. Also, she must always put her nose in everything to appease her curiosity.

Cheshire Cat is a vocal lady and will greet you immediately when you get home to ask about your day while sharing what activities she’s gotten into. You’ll chuckle as you find yourself having full heart-warming conversations about the weather and latest trends with your new pal 😊

In true cat fashion, Cheshire Cat does choose when she wants to show affection and needs to be the initiator, so she feels comfortable. She will actively search you out though, give you all the rubs and lie next to you for her daily chin and head scratches.

Cheshire Cat has tested positive for Feline Leukemia, but that has never slowed her down. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat.

APA! provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Cheshire Cat can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.

So, if you are looking for an active, curious, sweet-hearted companion, Cheshire Cat might just be the friend for you. Win her over easily by providing ample places to hide and sleep (girl LOVES a cardboard box), taking part in her soccer matches, and engaging in conversation and before you know it, you’ll be two peas in a pod!

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.
