About Susie Q

Susie Q came into rescue with Ellie Mae after being abandoned in a hotel room. Despite the rough start, she’s proven herself to be a gentle, affectionate cat who just needs a bit of time to trust. Susie Q is the more outgoing of the pair, and while she starts off timid, she rewards patience with loyal affection.
