About Rebecca

Rebecca is a calico cat who’s looking for a barn or working home. She and her brother Roger were found in the cold after being left behind, both underweight and frightened. Roger adapted to indoor life quickly and has since been adopted, but Rebecca remains very wary of humans. She prefers to keep her distance and actively avoids being touched or handled, making her a good fit for a situation where she can thrive on her own terms. Rebecca is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and she gets along with other cats. Rebecca is in Cincinnati, OH, hoping for a safe place where she doesn’t have to interact much with people. Give her the second chance she needs—a peaceful, protected space to call her own.
