Joy’s story begins with her mother Faith, who was found pregnant and alone until the AALOC team stepped in. What could have been a rough start for Joy and her siblings turned into a safe haven, giving her the chance to thrive. Joy is a young female tuxedo cat, striking in her black and white coat, with white paws and a pink button nose. She stands out with especially long whiskers and blue-grey eyes. Her personality matches her looks—curious, playful, and eager to explore every nook around her. Joy also gets along well with other cats, making her a good fit for a multi-feline home.
