Meet Your Match Felines
Meet Your Match MEET YOUR MATCH™ FELINE-ALITY
Each adoptable cat is assessed based on level of interest in play, exploring, 'talking', and being the center of attention so that he or she can be placed into one of the nine color-coded “feline-ality” types that make up the Meet Your Match™ program. Green cats are savvy and adventurous, orange cats make the perfect companions and purple kitties are quiet, seek affection and stay out of trouble.

In a nutshell:
  • GREEN adopters are most successful with cats who quickly adapt to new situations.
  • ORANGE adopters are a good fit with the quintessential companion kitty
  • PURPLE adopters are perfect for kitties who need time and encouragement to adjust to their new surroundings.
But don’t worry if you’d rather mix-and-match—adopters are not required to choose a cat with a particular feline-ality, and the assessment can prepare you for your new love’s response to her new home and help her adjust.


Here’s what a kitty’s color can tell you:

  • GREEN cats are savvy, unflappable and adventurous. They’re further broken down into three categories—the "MVP", "Party Animal", and "Leader of the Band".
  • ORANGE cats put the good in “good company.” They’re further classified as the "Executive", "Sidekick", and "Personal Assistant".
  • PURPLE kitties seek affection, are pretty quiet and tend to stay out of trouble. Our three purple categories are "Private Investigator", "Secret Admirer" and "Love Bug".


GREEN FELINE-ALITY DESCRIPTION

THE 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.

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.

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.


ORANGE FELINE-ALITY DESCRIPTION


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 on 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.

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.

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.


PURPLE FELINE-ALITY DESCRIPTION

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?

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 of you!

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.
