About Bellatrix

Bellatrix, affectionately called "Belly," is a striking, high-spirited calico in Hemet, CA. She grew up with her siblings after being rescued from a backyard and is now two years old, sporting a vibrant short coat and a personality to match. Bellatrix brings pure energy wherever she goes—she’s playful, often plotting her next playful twist, and creates mayhem in the most entertaining way, especially when paired up with her brother Sirius Black. She’s athletic, agile, and has a love for pouncing on toys (and sometimes toes). Her independent streak means she carves out her own adventures, though she isn’t one to pass up quality time with humans. When she’s not busy causing adorable chaos, Bellatrix is affectionate and gentle. She licks her favorite people and thrives on interactive play and cuddles—though on her own prickly, calico terms.

She’s not fond of other cats besides her sibling but gets along with dogs and children, making her a good fit for active families who can match her spirit.
