Gypsum

Gypsum is available from a foster home in the Milwaukee area.

. Here is what her foster parent has to say about her:
"Meet Gypsum: your future Golden Girl of the cat world! If cats were cast in a feline version of Golden Girls, Gypsum would be Sophia Petrillo-tiny, sassy, and unapologetically charming. She's the perfect mix of sweet and spicy, and as Sophia herself would say, "I'm old. I'm supposed to be colorful!"

Picture it. Milwaukee, 2025:
Gypsum is a 9-year-young black and white domestic shorthair (a tuxedo, if we're being fancy). She might play it cool at first, but as soon as you bring out her true love-the brush-she transforms into your biggest fan. She adores catnip, napping on her Mylar pad, snacking on treats, rubbing against her self-grooming comb, gazing out the window like a daydreaming poet, and yes, being brushed. Did we mention the brushing? Because she REALLY loves it.

Like Sophia, Gypsum has no problem telling you how she feels. She'll purr like a tiny engine when she's soaking up attention, but don't be surprised if she sets some boundaries when she's done with the petting session. She's a cat with personality-and she's not afraid to show it.

Gypsum would thrive in a calm, patient home, preferably without small children or chaos. She's ready to retire to a quieter household where she can enjoy the life of luxury, love, and relaxation she so deeply deserves.

Are you ready to welcome this tuxedo-clad Golden Girl into your home? She'll bring humor, heart, and just the right amount of sass to your life. Adopt Gypsum today-because every Sophia needs her Dorothy!

Don't wait... email megansfostersmke@gmail.com to schedule a meet-and-greet. And better yet, her foster family will match your adoption fee (name-your-own fee) up to $50, and their employer will match that amount meaning your donation can go three times as far to help animals like Gypsum at the Wisconsin Humane Society.

5 reasons to adopt an adult/senior pet (like Gypsum!):
1. They'll help you slow down. We live in a busy world and a cat like Gypsum understands the importance of taking it easy and enjoys a slower pace with lots of rest and relaxation.
2. They are independent and know their manners. Since she's learned the ropes already, Gypsum will remain perfectly content without supervision while you work from home or go out and about.
3. You'll know what to expect. While the personalities of kittens change as they grow up, personalities of adult animals are fully formed. That doesn't mean adult cats can't learn; in fact, they can be amazingly adaptive.
4. They'll be forever grateful. It can be more difficult for some pets than others to adjust to losing their homes, and adult/senior pets know what they're missing when they end up in a shelter. All Gypsum needs to know is that she's safe and cared for again, and she'll love you forever.
5. You're helping an animal in need. All animals in shelters need loving homes, but the demand is particularly high for adults/seniors. Deciding to help a cat like Gypsum means you're helping an animal in need, all while enjoying the many perks that come with bringing an older pet into your home. "
