Bella landed in rescue a bit shaken, unsure about the bustle of her new world. Given time and patience, she’s turned a corner—she now expects affection and seeks it out, chatting away, reminding you when it’s time for more petting or brushing. Bella isn’t a lap cat yet, but she likes to keep close and will probably cozy up further once she feels fully settled. Her routine loves include anything that involves gentle attention, especially soft brushes and a quiet presence nearby. Bella is FIV positive, but with indoor life and basic care, she should do just fine for years to come. She’d do well with a calm home and wouldn’t mind sharing space with another cat, so long as that housemate isn’t pushy or rough. Kids can be a fit too, but best if meetings are done in person to be sure everyone gets along. Health-wise, Bella’s checkups are solid aside from mild dental gingivitis, which just means a little extra attention to her teeth. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has no trouble with the litterbox. Bella’s been steadily learning to trust and is ready for a home where her gentle, communicative style will be treasured.
