About Cassie

Cassie was surrendered to our Shelter along with her sister Kora after her owner unfortunately lost her home and had nowhere to go. She is a beautiful, petite gal who loves her independence. She is bonded with her sister Kora so it would be great if they were adopted together. She has been around children and dogs. Her DOB is 4/30/2024. She is spayed, microchipped, FelV/FIV Negative and is current on age-appropriate vaccinations.

About Tortoiseshell Cats

Tortoiseshell cats, affectionately called "torties," display a distinctive coat of intermingled black and orange (or their dilute equivalents) without the white patches found in calico cats. This coat pattern can appear in many breeds and mixed-breed cats, and like calicos, tortoiseshells are almost always female. Their coats range from finely brindled mixes to bold patches of color.

Adopting a Tortoiseshell means gaining a cat famous for "tortitude," a spirited, sassy personality that tortie owners know and love. These cats are often fiercely loyal, independent-minded, and full of opinions they are happy to share. Their striking mosaic coats and bold personalities make them unforgettable companions who keep life interesting every single day.

Health notes: Health depends on the underlying breed or mix. Tortoiseshell is a coat pattern, not a breed. Regular vet care, dental checkups, and a healthy diet are the cornerstones of their well-being.
