About Frankie

Frankie showed up in the dead of winter, abandoned and shivering on the side of the road, doing her best to be noticed. She cried out until someone stopped, then climbed right in as soon as the car door opened. Once inside, she planted herself beside the space heater and settled in under as many blankets as she could find. You won’t catch Frankie hesitating for second chances—she is set on making a better life. Now thriving, Frankie is friendly, attentive, and gentle. She’ll stick close and soak up affection but has no interest in roughhousing or being teased. This girl values respect and routine, and her favorite place is wherever you are. She’s tidy, not at all destructive, and has adapted easily to the sounds of dogs in the background, though she hasn’t met other animals face to face. Frankie would do best in an adult home where her need for boundaries is taken seriously. Frankie’s story proves how much she’s willing to risk for warmth and belonging. Whoever brings her home is getting a cat that loves hard. Give her that last, safe landing spot and she’ll give everything she’s got in return. Click apply to start the adoption process.
