About Brownie

Brownie is a 10-year-old torbie who came into care frail, underweight, and with only one eye, likely left to fend for herself for some time. Over the past weeks, she's blossomed under care, showing off a bold personality—playful, loving, and just the right amount of sassy. Brownie enjoys attention and will let you know when she wants her space. She lives with hyperthyroidism and takes her medicine twice daily, easily mixed into food (the rescue will supply this). Brownie needs her own dedicated room and must be the only cat in the home. If you can offer her the comfort and stability she craves, she’s waiting to return your care with affection and spirited company. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
