About Bella

Bella is a special cat looking for her forever home. Once an indoor family pet, she found herself outside after struggling with a new baby in the house. Bella became pregnant twice and was diagnosed with regressive FELV (Feline Leukemia), but don't let that deter you—she's not shedding the virus and has the potential for a normal lifespan. This beautiful Torbie and White medium-sized girl is loving, friendly, and funny. Bella has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and she’s house trained, making her a great companion. She can thrive in a home as the only cat or with older children. Bella has been around other cats and may do well with FELV-vaccinated cats if your vet gives the green light. It’s time for her to experience a real, safe forever home where she can relax and be loved. If you think Bella could be the right fit for you, reach out and give her the life she deserves.
