Graciela is waiting for her forever home where she can let her personality shine.

About Graciela

Graciela came into rescue with her kittens back in April 2023, pulled from a packed animal control. Her kittens have all moved on, but Graciela is still waiting. She isn’t much for laps or begging for affection. Instead, she’s independent, feisty, and a little sassy—classic diva energy. Show her a Churu treat, though, and she’ll reveal her softer side and cozy up quick. She tolerates living with other cats now but she values her personal space. Graciela would do best either as the only cat in a home or with other cats who give her a wide berth. Unwanted touch isn’t her thing, so a home without small children is necessary. The hustle of the shelter doesn’t show her best side; with space and patience, she’ll come into her own and likely form a close bond with her person. She just needs someone who appreciates a cat with spirit rather than a cuddler. For those patient enough to look past her prickly reputation, she’s a true diamond in the rough. Libras like Graciela are known for their charm when they find the right balance. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
