About Wanda

Wanda was found wandering in a parking lot, but she was clearly no stray cat! She's sweet and loving and just wants your attention. And if you try to ignore her, she will tell you all about it!! This one's a talker!! Unfortunately, she is also Feline Leukemia positive, so she needs to be in a house with no other cats or other "positive" kitties. Thankfully, she should still be able to live a long, happy life!! Meet her: Saturdays at Pet Smart Harbison from 12 to 4 pm.

About Dilute Tortoiseshell Cats

Dilute Tortoiseshell cats, often called "dilute torties," feature a beautiful blend of muted blue-gray and cream patches instead of the standard black and orange of a typical tortoiseshell. This softer coloring gives them an especially elegant, understated beauty. Like standard tortoiseshells, they are almost exclusively female and are celebrated for their bold, spirited personalities.

Adopting a Dilute Tortoiseshell means gaining a cat with character to spare. Tortoiseshell cats are famous for their "tortitude," a sassy, independent streak that makes them endlessly entertaining and deeply loyal once they bond with their person. Their unique coloring and feisty personalities ensure no two dilute torties are ever alike.

Health notes: Health depends on the underlying breed or mix. Dilute Tortoiseshell is a coat pattern, not a breed. Regular vet visits and a balanced diet are the best ways to keep any tortie healthy.
