About Angelina

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Angelina is a gentle, sweet, and slightly shy girl who, after an early trauma, lost the use of her rear legs as a kitten. She has found joy and confidence with her best friend Alyssa, who is also paralyzed and more outgoing—helping Angelina blossom day by day. Their bond is heartwarming, and together they bring comfort and companionship to each other through playtime and snuggles. Since the fall of 2022, both Angelina and Alyssa have been hoping for a foster or forever home where they can finally receive the love and attention they deserve. They enjoy toys, cozy moments, and napping in sunny patches. As they require help being expressed to go potty, the process is straightforward and support will be provided to ensure a smooth transition. These two special girls are truly precious angels, ready to fill a caring home with resilience and love. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
