About Turtle

Turtle came to us from a hoarding situation in Radcliff, where she was one of 33 cats rescued from an abandoned home. She has taken on a matriarch role among her fellow kitties, especially with Allura, the brown tabby. They share a close bond, and Turtle often ensures that everyone in her space is groomed and happy. While Turtle enjoys affection and will approach you for pets, her threshold for touch is quite low, and she'll let you know when she’s had enough! Her vocalizations express her needs clearly—she is eager for a loving forever home that understands her personality. We encourage considering adopting Turtle along with Allura, as they'd both benefit from the comfort of companionship during their transition to a new home. The adoption fee is $80, which includes spaying/neutering, testing for FIV/FeLV, core vaccines, deworming, flea prevention, and a microchip. Ready to give Turtle (and maybe Allura) a new home?
