Meet Taboo! This playful black cat, like the game she’s named after, is full of surprises! Estimated to be born around January 18th, 2023, Taboo is a young adult (around 1 year old) Domestic Shorthair with a strong personality. We don’t need to tell you how pretty she is!

Taboo’s Purrsonality:
- Lap cat who loves pets! Sweet and friendly girl
- Affectionate on her terms: Taboo loves attention through petting, ear scratches, and snuggles on the couch – but only for as long as she decides. When she’s had enough, she’ll let you know.
- Daddy’s Girl: While Taboo initially bonded strongly with my husband, she’s slowly warming up to others too. Be patient and let her come around at her own pace!
- Independent and easily stimulated: Taboo thrives in a calm and quiet environment. She enjoys playtime with toys like laser pointers, but gets overwhelmed easily. Respecting her need for downtime is key to building trust.
- Single cat household preferred: Taboo is slowly being introduced to other cats, but the process is slow. For her comfort, a home without other pets is ideal.
- Communicates clearly: Taboo may not meow much, but she’ll use gentle love nips, body language, and playful swats to express her needs and wants. Pay attention to her cues for a harmonious relationship.
