About Annabelle

Annabelle is a true survivor, having fought against the odds to protect her kittens. Rescued after being struck by a vehicle, she endured the loss of her front left paw and her back left leg, yet continued to care for her five newborns while recovering. After three weeks of treatment for her injury, she underwent surgery to remove her damaged leg, showing immense strength and resilience. Now, Annabelle seeks a quiet home with a gentle caregiver. She thrives in a calm, adult-only environment where she feels safe. She enjoys gentle head pets and predictable movements. Though she has faced challenges, such as adjusting to her special needs, Annabelle navigates her space well, using a low-entry litterbox and needs minimal support to reach her food and water. This affectionate cat loves to groom others and gets along well with other cats, provided they aren't overly dominant. Annabelle will need a cozy spot to rest, as her unique circumstances necessitate careful setup for her comfort. She remains frightened of crates but is making progress. A window view would bring her joy as she adjusts to her new life. Adoption fee for Annabelle is waived. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
