Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Pine is a lovely 2-year-old female cat with a calm, gentle, and polite personality.

She enjoys peaceful interactions, gentle play, and having her space kept clean and cozy. Pine has excellent grooming habits and thrives in a calm, resource-rich environment where she can relax and feel secure. A tidy litter box and consistent routine help her feel her best.

Pine does not know any commands or tricks, but she makes up for it with her intelligence, vigilance, and soft demeanor—true to her nickname, “Soft Paws, No Claws.”

Her ideal adopter is someone who values a serene companion and can provide a safe, quiet home where Pine can settle in and enjoy her next chapter. If you’re looking for a composed, affectionate cat with a gentle soul, Pine may be the perfect addition to your home.
