In the shelter’s words

DOB 9/9/23 Hey there, everyone! I’m Lady Matilda Catherine St. Gertrude, the Duchess of Silvester, a.k.a Tilly. I’m a sweet, friendly, easygoing brown tabby gal who likes to snuggle next to Foster Meowmy while we binge on Dr. Who episodes together on the sofa. Aside from when we clench our teeth during the thrilling sci-fi adventures, I luxuriate while Meowmy gently strokes my ears, cheeks, and chin. I also enjoy our pampering sessions when she brushes me while I’m relaxing on soft pillows. You can tell from my long name and title that I was born an aristocat who had everything that a young kitty could want. Yet I had an adventurous and romantic heart, and once my eyes caught sight of the dashing rogue William Bones, Captain of the pirate ship Raccoon Chaser, I threw caution to the winds. I abandoned my life of luxury and set off with him on an adventure into the great unknown. Happy, brave, and carefree, Billy and I explored the world and discovered new sights and smells. We lived our best young cat lives – that is, until life in the wild presented several hardships. Soon I found myself giving birth to three beautiful kittens underneath an old house. I was an exemplary mother in caring for my babies. I joined Billy by hunting mice and lizards to provide for food them. However, when we had to defend them from raccoons, I realized life in the wild was no place for such adorable kittens. When Chili, Chipotle, and Carolina Reaper were about two months old, my brave pirate lover led me to a kind human household, and soon all five of us were in the safe haven of our foster home. Instead of living paw-to-mouth, we discovered all the joys of eating from white china bowls that brim with food, climbing cat trees, and playing with toy mice. I’m completely content to stare out the window -- only to reminisce about my piratical adventures. I especially enjoy relaxing in my favorite forward-fold yoga pose. Now I’m ready to bring my loving, relaxed temperament to grace my forever family. Could that be you? Full disclosure: as a noble lady, I only surround myself with cats and people whom I deem as excellent in character. And although I like other cats, I might need time to get acquainted with them. If you’re ready to welcome an aristocat into your heart and hearth, serve Churus on a silver spoon, and generously sprinkle catnip at my feet, I’m the girl for you! Arrange to meet me today!
