Meet Pumpkin 🎃 — a spirited girl with a big personality

Pumpkin isn’t your typical laid-back lap cat - she’s a highly trainable, active cathlete with a strong prey drive. Pumpkin thrives with daily interactive wand play that lets her fully engage in the prey sequence, which helps her feel more content and regulated. For Pumpkin, structured play is non-negotiable. She does like to play hard so we recommend monitoring her with toys so she does not play a little too hard and break them!

She enjoys brief, consent-based petting and will clearly communicate when she’s had enough through inhibited swats. These swats are communication, not aggression. When people consistently respect her boundaries, Pumpkin builds trust with them and starts seeking physical contact more often.

Pumpkin will do best in a calm home without young children. She may thrive with other confident, playful pets if introductions are slow and structured. She needs vertical space, room for zoomies, and people who will understand that her behavior is communication.

With a cat like Pumpkin, life will never be boring.

Pumpkin goes home with a comprehensive, tailored Behavior and Adoption Guide to set her and her new family up for success.
