Queer with Cat Looking for Studio or Shared Flat

Queer & Neurodiverse Part-time Retail Worker / Photographer, I am struggling to find a Studio or 1 bed Flat and am hoping to find a flat for myself or someone to share a 2 bed Flat, preferably with minimal carpet, which would allow my lovely 9-year-old cat on the property. However would be open to moving into a shared house as a last resort.

I currently live alone and am a little anxious about moving into shared houses without knowing them beforehand on account of previous hostility from housemates and possible safety problems on account of being poc + openly trans / queer

Looking to live with other left-leaning queer/ neurodiverse people, but I am open to anyone as long as we are respectful of each other's lives, spaces and ideals.

I'm very much an introverted extrovert (Autism vs ADHD) who loves to socialise and go out occasionally, but I am pretty happy keeping to myself and being a homebody.

I'm handy with a sewing needle and power tools if anything needs fixing. I enjoy baking (I always clear up after myself), so expect cookies and assorted baked goods semi-often

Nova (My Cat) is sweet, calm and kind. She's house-trained and has lived in rented accommodation with no issues. She tends to keep to herself but loves being around people and being picked up for short periods.
