About Betty

If quiet company is what you seek, Betty stands out as that rare cat: discreet yet full of warmth. She’s a striking medium-sized calico, about 2-3 years old, with a beautifully marked short coat and an equally gentle spirit. Betty currently lives in a foster home in central Ohio. She prefers the easy pace of an adult-only household, where she can sidestep the chaos of dogs and find comfort among calm people—and perhaps another mellow cat. Shy at first, Betty takes her time before revealing her affectionate side, but once she does, you’ll see her soft, quiet loyalty and trademark ‘butt dance’ at mealtimes. She doesn’t chatter; she saves her tiny voice for moments that count. Treats and gentle company mean everything to her. She adapts well alongside tranquil cats but finds active or unpredictable environments overwhelming. She is spayed, microchipped, FIV/FeLV negative, and her vaccinations are up to date. Adopters must have a verifiable veterinary history and complete the application process. Betty can be fostered on a trial basis by interested adopters in Ohio.
