About Loretta

Loretta is looking for a foster or permanent home. This young orange and white cat takes her time to warm up, often feeling shy or a bit scared until she gets to know her people and fellow cats. Once comfortable, she gets along with other kitties and shows her playful, sometimes wild, side. Treats are the key to her trust, and she’ll make quick friends with those who offer her snacks. Head rubs are a must for Loretta, especially at bedtime—sometimes she’ll even crawl under the covers to curl up next to you. While she enjoys lap time and play, she doesn’t like to be held for long. She is gentle for nail trims and appreciates a calm environment. Loretta hasn’t met dogs, but she might adjust to a laid-back pup given time. If you’re patient and willing to let her come out of her shell, Loretta could be a loving addition to your home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
