About Gretchen

Meet Gretchen, a beautiful brown tabby with white accents and captivating green eyes. After spending several years at our Sanctuary in Atwater Village, this fierce and independent spirit still retains a touch of her feral nature. While she may be wary of people, her bond with her buddy Flower (KRLA-A-567) shows her affectionate side. They would thrive best if adopted together. Gretchen needs an experienced owner who respects her desire for space and autonomy. She doesn’t seek out human affection, but her unique personality may just be the perfect match for the right person. If you can provide a patient, understanding home, you might find an extraordinary companion in Gretchen. Ready to make a difference? Click apply to start the adoption process.
