Socks is a striking, petite cat, who has been in foster care for far too long! This may be because she has a shy side and shows it at adoption fairs by hiding her face (and her whole self if she is able to), so needs a little time to open up. However, once she feels at home she is a social butterfly, and she loves to follow you around the house and lean into you for pets, purring all the while. If you don't pay enough attention to her she expresses her displeasure by giving you a little bat with her paw, as if to say “hey, remember me?” She has a lovely squeaky meow and loves to talk to whoever will listen. 

Socks is inquisitive and adventurous and likes to see the world from above, spending time in her cat tree, monitoring all she can see...or she will spend her time on a shelf knocking things off, or climb up on the bathroom sink to oversee your tooth brushing, or jump on the headboard of your bed to...well you get the idea. She knows all the proper cat behavior such as climbing in open drawers and suitcases or exploring boxes and bags, chasing the laser pointer and is always happy to help with household chores if she can.

She would probably be fine with other animals after a proper introduction. She is ready to move on to a new adventure with a loving family, maybe yours!

Socks is a recipient of the prestigious Maxwell Sponsorship Award, only given to the most beloved and longtime Fancy Cats. Socks has been in the Fancy Cat system for TWO years, and as you read from her bio above, she's an awesome girl!
