About Betsy

Meet Betsy! This little black kitten, adorned with big golden-green eyes and a tiny white patch on her chest, has a cautious nature but is warming up to affection. She can't resist a good wand toy; it brings out her playful side. Betsy's foster notes that while she’s shy at first, she loves being picked up when she's sleepy, purring happily in your arms. Once down, she seeks out more petting, realizing that humans can indeed be wonderful companions. Betsy would thrive with a patient adopter who allows her to set the pace as she gradually settles in. Provide her with a quiet space, some time, and a wand toy, and you'll discover a sweet, purring friend. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
