Meet Moxie, a bright-eyed tabby with a perfectly penciled face, cozy stripes, and the kind of thoughtful expression that makes you want to whisper, “You are safe here.” Moxie has classic main-character energy, equal parts curious and cautious, with a quiet charm that grows the longer you hang out.

Right now, Moxie may be a bit shy at first, the “let me observe you for a minute” type who prefers a calm hello over a big entrance. Give it a little time, some gentle voices, and a slow-blink moment, and you will start to see the confidence peek through. The noodle toy, a treat, or a cozy blanket can help break the ice, and once Moxie decides you are a friend, the connection is the sweetest kind: earned.

If you have a soft spot for a sensitive kitty with big feelings and even bigger potential, come meet Moxie and be the reason “shy at first” turns into “attached for life.”
