Sassy's foster dad jokingly calls hers a "tubby" cat instead of a tabby cat because Sassy's a bit overweight. We aren't fat shaming her though, we love her plump self and encourage weight loss with regulated feedings and play time with toys. Sassy is comfortable with herself and really gains confidence given some time and love. She loves sitting in laps so much that she will even race you to the chair or couch, already leaping in the air to land in your lap before you even finish sitting down. Do you enjoy unwinding with watching a movie or Netflix? Sassy would love to be your friend and keep you company. Maybe you enjoy napping? So does Sassy! She also has bouts of energy where she enjoys a good play session with toy mice, and we are hoping to introduce her to a laser toy as well.  Her foster dad spoils her with the occasional treat and she just loves it!

She is an all-around sweet heart and good girl. She loves people, she is perfectly healthy, and great with the litter box. She is low maintenance but also very affectionate. If you are missing love in your life, she can fill that void. 

Sassy has proved her dedication and loyalty to her owner. Originally, she was taken in as a kitten to provide companionship to a woman who lost her husband. She spent 9 years with this woman, adding enrichment and companionship to her life. Unfortunately, her owner passed away, leaving her without a place to go. She lived in her owner's empty home for several months as family checked in with her before our rescue was able to take her in. Tyson's Place Animal Rescue's mission is to assist terminally ill people with finding new families for their pets, and this means we are dedicated to finding another family for Sassy where she can once again prove her loyalty. We have been waiting 9 months so far for that family to come along, and we know the right person is out there that understands her.

She thinks she is queen of the home and would be best as an only cat. She had full blood work, a fecal check, a urine check, rabies and distemper vaccinations, flea topical, and microchip, so she is one healthy cat and ready for adoption.
