About Betty

Betty is a charming cat who has thrived in her foster home with The Cat House for about 18 months. Initially shy, she spent her first three months hiding under a blanket. With time and care, she has blossomed into a lively companion. However, Betty prefers to be the queen of her castle and does best as a single cat; she has a bit of a bully streak and is not very welcoming to other cats or children. Once you earn her trust, she transforms into a loving lap cat who enjoys following you around. Betty appreciates her space though; she has some clear boundaries. Touching her backside or belly often leads to her mischievous side emerging. But a little goat milk can work wonders, and she will quickly forgive you! Betty is ready for a forever home where she can be the star. Click apply to start the adoption process.
