In the shelter’s words
Hi, I’m Puffin — small name, big personality. I’m the fearless explorer of the household, the one who spots a loophole before anyone else even realizes there was a rule to begin with. If there’s a cabinet that “shouldn’t open,” a shelf that’s “too high,” or a door that’s “definitely closed,” I consider that a personal challenge. I’m proudly independent, not in a standoffish way, just in a “don’t worry, I’ve got this” kind of way. I like checking things out on my own terms, mapping the territory, and then circling back to you with a satisfied little tail flick like, “You’re welcome, I’ve inspected everything.” I’m clever, curious, and always two steps ahead — the kind of cat who keeps life interesting and keeps you laughing. If you’re looking for a girl who brings brains, bravery, and a dash of mischief, I’m your Puffin. Estimated Birthdate: 3/29/26 To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application which is available here: https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication.
