RAPID CITY, S.D. — Cruella De Vil may share a name with a famous villain, but the four year old black cat is anything but mean spirited.

The petite “house panther” is described by her caretakers as affectionate, talkative and happiest when curled up on someone’s lap. While she enjoys exploring her surroundings with quiet confidence, Cruella’s favorite place is close to her people. “She loves to cuddle and talk,” her foster family said. “This girl loves to vocalize her affection.”

Cruella has been lovingly cared for while waiting for the right home and is now searching for a family that will appreciate her gentle personality and loving nature. Whether she’s chatting with her humans, stretching out comfortably nearby or demanding attention with her expressive eyes, Cruella has a way of making herself the center of attention in the sweetest possible way.

Her caretakers say she would thrive in a home where she can relax, feel safe and be treated like part of the family. Though small in size, Cruella makes up for it with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

For anyone looking for a loyal companion with plenty of affection to give, Cruella De Vil may be the perfect fit. Cruella is currently adoptable through A Place for Meow Rescue. For more information about adoption opportunities, visit A Place for Meow Rescue
