About Grizabella

Grizabella has a calm, reserved presence that stands out even among a crowd. She arrived with several other cats from a hoarding situation, and while the younger ones adjusted more quickly, Grizabella prefers to take her time. Big changes can feel overwhelming for an older cat, but through it all, she’s remained sweet and gentle with everyone. Staff find her easy to handle, but you might need to look for her in a cozy hiding spot, as she still enjoys quiet corners. Estimated around 9–10 years old, Grizabella could be a mom or even an aunt to some of the cats she arrived with. Her long white and grey coat is looking healthier by the day now that she’s safe and cared for. Dental issues mean she’s on a wet food diet, and that’s certainly helped her settle in—it's the surest way to win her over. Grizabella does best in a peaceful, patient home, with someone willing to give her the space and confidence she needs to blossom. Once she feels secure, she’s likely to become a deeply affectionate companion. Grizabella is scheduled to be spayed, has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Click apply to start the adoption process.
