Meet Goose , a charming tuxedo sweetheart with a playful spirit, a loving heart, and a personality that's impossible not to adore.

This beautiful black-and-white domestic shorthair is four years old and has striking yellow eyes, crisp white socks on her paws, and all the confidence and charisma that tuxedo cats are known for. Goose is the kind of cat who quickly wins people over with her friendly nature and affectionate personality.

Goose is incredibly social and loves being around people. Whether you're meeting her for the first time or you've known her for years, she's happy to accept attention, affection, and plenty of compliments. She adjusts remarkably well to new people and environments and isn't shy about making herself part of the family. If you're looking for a cat who enjoys being involved in your daily life, Goose is ready to volunteer.

One of Goose 's most endearing qualities is her curiosity. She loves knowing what her people are up to and will often wander over to investigate whatever project, chore, or activity has captured your attention. Don't be surprised if she appears beside you while you're working, unpacking groceries, or opening a package—especially if there's a cardboard box involved. Goose absolutely loves boxes and can turn even the simplest cardboard container into her favorite place to relax or play.

Affection is one of Goose 's favorite things. She enjoys being picked up, loves snuggling, and will happily curl up in your lap or stretch out across your chest for a cozy nap. While she enjoys her independence and can entertain herself when needed, she genuinely loves spending time with her people and being nearby while they go about their day.

Goose also has a playful side that keeps life entertaining. Her favorite activities include chasing laser pointers, racing through her tunnel, batting around noisy toy mice, scratching away on her scratching post, and engaging in interactive play with her family. She has a medium energy level, making her a wonderful balance of playful and relaxed. One moment she may be snoozing peacefully in a sunny spot, and the next she's ready for an exciting play session.

Like many intelligent cats, Goose isn't afraid to speak her mind. She can be delightfully vocal when she's looking for attention, wants to play, or thinks it's time for a snack. Her little conversations are part of what makes her personality so special and endearing.

Goose is primarily an indoor cat and is happiest living safely inside with her family. However, she does enjoy supervised outdoor adventures where she can explore new sights, smells, and sounds while staying safe with her people nearby.

She has lived successfully with both cats and dogs and does well with adults and children alike. Goose typically adjusts well to other animals and simply benefits from a day or two to settle in and become familiar with new furry companions.

Goose does have an allergy that requires ongoing management. She receives an oral medication through a syringe every 4–5 days, and she handles her treatment very well. Her condition is manageable, and she's otherwise a happy, active young cat who is ready to bring joy to her new family.

If you're searching for a cat who is affectionate without being demanding, playful without being overwhelming, and confident enough to make herself at home wherever she goes, Goose may be the perfect match. With her sweet personality, love of cuddles, playful curiosity, and ability to make friends with just about everyone she meets, Goose is ready to find a family to call her own.
