About Hazel

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Hazel is a charming young adult tabby-tortie girl around 3 years old who has a whole lot of love to give! She’s fully vetted, including being spayed, microchipped, flea-treated, dewormed, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on core vaccines and rabies. Hazel adores people and is a true 'people cat.' She’ll seek you out for head scratches, will nuzzle into you for attention, and absolutely loves belly rubs. Whether she's greeting you with her sweet little meows at the door or showing off her playful side with wand and catnip toys, Hazel’s affectionate personality shines through. She’s happiest curled up in your lap, and her excitement at treat time is guaranteed to put a smile on your face—she even goes into a little meerkat pose for churus! While Hazel has a laid-back nature, she prefers to be the only cat in your home, so she’s best suited as a loving single cat companion. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
