Pre-Loved Tortoiseshell cat For Adoption by Owner in Gardner KS

🍂 Meet Autumn – A Gentle Soul Looking for Peace, Purring, and a Place to Call Home

Autumn isn’t just a cat—she’s a companion, a confidante, and a little spark of comfort wrapped in a tortoiseshell coat as soft as velvet. At 11 years old, this sweet girl still plays like a kitten when the mood strikes—especially if you toss her a hair tie or rattle toy mouse. She’ll chirp with excitement, then retreat to your lap for purrs and pets, her way of saying, “You’re my person.”

Autumn has been dearly loved since she was a kitten. But life has changed: a move, the loss of her long-time feline friend, and the addition of a new baby and rambunctious kitten have overwhelmed her sensitive soul.

What used to be a quiet, calm home has become loud and busy—too much for a cat who simply wants a peaceful spot, a cozy lap, and a human to call her own.

She’s healthy, spayed, litter trained, and gets along with older children and cats—but she truly longs to be the only furry focus in a calm, child-free home. Her anxiety has led to occasional marking outside the box, but with consistency, quiet, and love, she can absolutely flourish again.

Her current family adores her, which is why they’re making this brave decision to help her find the sanctuary she needs. Autumn still has so much love to give—her meows, trills, and tender cuddles are just waiting for the right heart to receive them.

If you have a peaceful home and a warm heart, Autumn would love nothing more than to spend her golden years by your side.

5 Amazing Things About Autumn:

1. Her cute meows and trills. She’s endearingly vocal.
2. How cuddly and full of purrs she is. Ultimate lap cat.
3. How kitten-like she can be when playing with her toys. Her eyes light up and she chirps like she is hunting.
4. Her desire to be close to you and receive pets/snuggles.
5. Her beautiful coat pattern and how velvety soft her fur is.

Autumn’s owners are very sad to have to rehome their cherished cat, but circumstances beyond their control have made rehoming a must-do.

They are hoping to find the right home where this deserving cat will be loved unconditionally and kept safe, happy, healthy and well-cared-for.

If you have room in your heart and home for Autumn, then please offer a loving, forever home today. Autumn can’t wait to show you the true meaning of unconditional love.

Autumn’s Personality

Autumn is a very sweet and affectionate cat. Autumn can be sassy and quite vocal; she will amuse you with her range of meows and trills! She also likes to “chatter” when she sees birds outside or when you play using a laser pointer. She loves to play fetch with hair ties and small toy mouses.

Great with adults who like to sit around with a lap cat. She wants someone who is home a lot as she loves to spend time with the people she adores.

Autumn’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?

She loves small toy mouses with a rattle in them.
She is obsessed with hair ties and milk jug rings.
Loves treats – Whiskas Temptations are her favorite (any flavor but fish).

Cute Autumn Story:

Autumn will find the oddest places to curl up and sleep. I’ve found her in baby car seats, playpens, laundry baskets, and cupboards. When you find her, she’ll look up at you with the cutest face and give a quiet meow or trill as if to say “hi!”.

Why is Autumn Being Rehomed?

In the past 18 months we’ve moved houses, said goodbye to another cat who was sick (Autumn’s friend) and brought home a newborn into the new house. Autumn has always been an anxious cat, but her anxiety has been super high with all of the recent changes and loud noises that the baby (and my 7 year old) make.

We adopted another kitten a year ago hoping to provide her with a new friend to cuddle with, but his youthfulness is an annoyance to her. She’s become quite reclusive in our master bedroom and will only want to come out when the kids are in bed or not at home. Recently, she’s been urinating/marking outside of the litter box and we think it’s due to her anxiety. We’ve taken her to the vet a few times, and she’s healthy: just anxious.

We love Autumn very much – we’ve had her since she was a kitten! But she is clearly unhappy in our busy and loud environment that will not be changing anytime soon.

She’s only middle-aged and we want her to live out her remaining years happily – not hiding away from us and desperate for a quiet room with a person to love and pet her. We are a busy young family and we can’t give her the quiet environment and undivided attention that she craves. We want what’s best for her.

Autumn’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:

Autumn would thrive best in a fairly quiet home where she is the only pet. She does not like young children, so a child-free home would be best. She was the happiest in our old home (smaller and quieter) with plenty of peace and quiet with a warm lap to sit on.
