Hi, I'm Erika - part-time cuddlebug, part-time huntress, full-time drama queen (the good kind).

Let's get one thing straight: I may be petite, shy and quiet at first, but once I trust you? You're my person - and I will be your shadow. I'll supervise your emails, join your Zoom calls (camera optional), and politely request - okay, demand - belly rubs while you try to work. Productivity may dip slightly. Cat companionship? Through the roof.

I'm a big fan of watching animals on TV. Birds, squirrels, that one dramatic nature documentary with the snow leopards? Yeah, I'm into all of it. I even been known to bring my flirt pole to my humans like a dog would with a tennis ball. We're currently on flirt pole #4, thank you very much. They don't make them strong enough for my elite-level hunting moves.

My ideal home? Somewhere on the quieter side - small family or solo humans are my vibe. I've met a dog before and didn't hate it (which is cat for "we might be cool someday"). I just ask that any canine roommates be respectful of my space and my fabulousness.

Now, I do start off on the shy side and it will take some time for me to get comfortable. I've been through a lot and I'm still learning that the world isn't as scary as it once seemed. But every day I get a little braver, and once I trust you, I'm all in. I'll cuddle in bed (until my nightly zoomies kick in), curl up next to you on the couch, and bring endless entertainment with my silly, sweet, and slightly dramatic ways.

I've made a cozy blanket fort my personal headquarters (and safe space) when you're away, but when you're home? I'm front and center - with a chirp, a purr, and maybe a little head tilt to remind you how lucky you are.

So if you're patient, loving, and up for a little harmless flirt pole destruction, I think we could be soulmates.
