Alice is a classic tuxedo cat with a story that shows just how much a cat can blossom given patience and kindness. Arriving from a massive unmanaged colony, she started out hidden and fearful, not used to people or affection. Over her months at the sanctuary, though, Alice has made more progress than anyone expected. She’s now one of the friendliest cats in the room, regularly greeting both staff and visitors, asking for pets, and occasionally hopping into a willing lap. Her gentle and sweet ways come through in every nudge and her soft insistence that yes, you really should stop and give her attention. Alice isn’t much for toys, at least while people are around, but she enjoys relaxing in cozy beds or perching at the highest point on the cat tree to keep an eye on everything—and everyone. She gets along well with the other cats but mostly seeks human company. Ready to serve as a loving companion and a constant, affectionate presence, Alice is eager to finally find a home where she’ll be appreciated for the loving, loyal cat she’s become.
