Betty has endured more than most cats ever should. She spent last winter outdoors with her two kittens, braving snow, hunger, and cold until a kind person stepped in and helped. After landing at the shelter, she watched her kittens get adopted while she continues to wait. Betty is a spayed, long-haired black and white tuxedo who prefers the company of other cats and thrives in peaceful environments. She’s shy around people but warms up with patience and time, especially if other friendly cats are around. Betty is playful and loves sleeping beside her feline friends but needs an adopter willing to give her the slow, gentle introduction she missed out on for so long. She’s not looking for a loud home or a bustling household; quiet, cat-savvy adopters willing to build her trust will have the most success. Betty isn’t likely to fit in with dogs or children; another easygoing cat, though, would help her flourish. She must remain an indoor-only companion. Those offering her a home must be ready for a true commitment and understand that she will need her own room and a consistent routine to start. Betty’s story is a reminder that the quieter cats need love just as much as the outgoing ones. She’s ready to give someone her trust, one step at a time. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
