About Rebecca

Rebecca is about 5 years old and came to the shelter after her owners lost their apartment. Despite what folks say about tortoiseshell cats having an attitude, Rebecca is the total opposite—a gentle soul with the softest personality. She’s calm, leans into pets, and loves nothing more than being around people or nestled with other cats. Rebecca gets along well with every cat she’s met here and seems to crave affection from the volunteers. She’s clearly missing her old family and would thrive in a loving, steady home where she can feel safe again. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who will return your attention tenfold, Rebecca is worth meeting. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
