About Belle

Belle is a senior Calico who’s comfortable setting her own boundaries. She prefers her quiet routines and likes humans, but only on her terms. If you’re patient and gentle, she’ll eventually let you in—and once she does, you’ll have her trust. Belle isn’t interested in sharing her space with other cats or dogs, so she’s best as the only animal in the home. After losing her longtime person, Belle took it hard. Now she’s ready for someone new, ideally with a soft spot for independent cats and a warm lap. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
