Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) –  Tavy is a lovely five-year-old brown tabby who absolutely adores cozy blankets and quiet naps.

She’s a sweet girl who enjoys affection but also values her personal space—she’ll come to you when she’s ready for love and prefers a home that respects her boundaries. With her mellow personality and quiet charm, Tavy would thrive in a relaxed environment where she can feel safe, loved, and always have a warm blanket nearby.

Come meet her at the Animal Protective League, 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We’re open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
