Do you have room for me?

Do you have a small spot available where I could put my bed?

My name is Gracie, and I’m searching for someone with a small spot available that could fit a cat. I don’t need much, I really don’t. A place to put my bed down and some love would be fantastic.

I’m one of Cat Depot’s longest residents - I’ve been here since August 2014. I tried to count how long that is, but I ran out of paws. It has to be pretty long. I know I’m almost as old as the number of paws, which is four, but my math skills don’t go any further than that.

I currently work in the gift shop, greeting visitors. That has to show what a good kitty I am, right? Not just everyone could do that; most cats would try to get into the merchandise or sneak out the door. I stay where I’m supposed to be and let people pet me if they want to.

I’ve heard the humans talk about me. They think I have a hard time finding a home because I’m special needs, and that just breaks my heart. I have to take medicine to prevent seizures, and that in turn makes me sleepy, but I’m a really good kitty. I am, I promise!

If you have a spot for me in your home I will be the best cat you can imagine. I love being held and getting attention, but I won’t bug you for it. Because I’m not a bug; I’m a cat.

Please come see me! I’m easy to find and I would love going home now.
