About Bella

Beautiful Bella, also known as “Bella Donna,” is a charming 9-year-old cat currently on our waitlist. However, we hope to find her a loving home rather than bring her to the sanctuary. Rescued as a kitten from a farm, Bella has been adored by her previous owners. This sweet lady is quite chatty, especially when it comes to her meals, so a structured feeding schedule works best for her. While she's a hefty girl, that just means she has even more love to give! Bella thrives on cuddles and has lived with another cat, but she'd prefer to be the only feline in the house. Remarkably, she adores dogs and used to meow for attention from both her owners and the household pup. She's a playful yet gentle companion looking for her FURever family. Might that be you?
