environment. To help assure that your cat adoption choice is "purrfect" the
first time around, HSVB&IRC has committed to a program of evaluating the
personalities of all adoptable cats. When you bring a completed "Cat Adopter

Cat Personalities.
What are the nine personality types you're likely to encounter? We'll let the
cats tell you themselves...
Private Investigator
I'm working undercover to keep an eye on you and your household. You may not
even know you're under surveillance. I can vanish into thin air if anyone or
anything interferes with my investigation. If you need a cat who knows how to
stay out of trouble and will always keep your secrets, I just might take your
case.

Secret Admirer
When it comes to relationships, I'm very level-headed. I don't leap in paws
first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I'll shower
you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not
see a lot of me, but I'll be thinking a lot of you!
Love Bug
Do you seek affection? I do! If you also like petting, purrs, and paws kneading
your lap, I think we might have a LOT in common. I'm looking for "someone who
enjoys quiet times and togetherness." Could that someone be you?
The Executive
I have to say, I'm a busy cat. First, I've got to check out what's happening out
the window. Next, I'll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And
then there are my naps--can't be late for those. I can fit a little socializing
into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like
kibbles.
Sidekick
Like all sidekicks, I'm just plain good company. I like attention, and I also
like my solitude. I don't go looking for trouble, but I'm no scaredy-cat,
either. If you are looking for a steady companion to travel with you on the road
of life, look no further.
Personal Assistant
You're working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I'll
hold the pages down for you. Watching TV? I'll just plop in your lap so you can
pet me. I love an orderly household, don't you? I'll help you with all your
chores, and I'll help you relax when we're done. You'll wonder how you ever
managed without me.
MVP
I'm a savvy cat who knows the score. I'm pretty unflappable, too. I don't mind
entertaining myself, but a human companion at the other end of the couch and a
nice scratch behind the ears always make my day. If you're looking for a
resourceful addition to your team, think about signing this Most Valuable
Pussycat.
Party Animal
I'm a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits.
I'd love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils,
post-it notes, potatoes. If you're looking for some laughs and someone to liven
up the party, think about inviting me.
Leader of the Band
I'm a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle
of things--I like to lead the parade. I'm an adventurous cat, but I'll still
make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side. I'm the demonstrative
type, you might say. Want a cat who's brimming with confidence? That's me.
