Should You Adopt a Male or Female Cat? Let Your Heart Decide
At FellowKitty, we’ve met hundreds of furry personalities – loud ones, quiet ones, fierce and shy, graceful and goofy. One of the most common questions we get from potential adopters is:
“Should I adopt a male or female cat?”
Here’s our honest answer: it’s not just about gender — it’s about connection.
The Myth of Male vs. Female Cats
You’ve probably heard the stereotypes.
“Male cats are more affectionate.”
“Female cats are calmer and easier to manage.”
But in our experience rescuing street cats and caring for our sanctuary kitties, these generalizations often fall short.
We’ve cuddled clingy girl cats who never leave your lap and met independent boy cats who enjoy their own space. What truly shapes a cat’s personality is not just gender — it’s their past, their environment, and most of all, your energy.
What Really Matters When Choosing Your Cat
When you adopt from FellowKitty, we spend time getting to know both you and the cat.
Are you looking for a playful partner in crime? Or a calm, gentle soul to sit by your side after a long day?
That’s the magic we focus on — personality matching, not gender.
Here’s what we do recommend you consider:
Are they neutered/spayed? All FellowKitty cats are! This helps reduce territorial behavior and prevents health issues and unwanted litters.
Are you adopting more than one? Sometimes two males or two females may need careful introduction. But with patience and proper socialization, love usually wins.
Are you a first-time cat parent? We’ll guide you every step of the way — from selecting the right cat to making your home “cat ready.”
Every Cat is a Soul Waiting to Be Seen
At FellowKitty, we believe every cat is special — regardless of whether they meow in a soprano or a baritone. What matters most is the bond you form.
So instead of asking, “Should I get a boy or girl cat?”
Ask this:
“Which cat feels like home to me?”
That’s the one who’ll change your life.
