Tell us about temperament of the cat you would like to live with:*

Cats are a lot like people—some like to be held and hugged while some prefer to keep their distance (spirit cats). Most cats and kittens fall somewhere in between and require an adjustment period of 1-4 weeks (or longer) to fully acclimate to their new surroundings and human companions. Please check all that apply!

Spirit cats are cool (independent, mainly on the periphery)
A little fresh and feisty is okay
