About Hazel

Meet Hazel! This sweet 10-year-old girl is hoping to find her forever home soon. Originally surrendered to a veterinary clinic, she's been nothing but loving and affectionate since arriving at Simba’s Sanctuary. The moment you start to pet her, she’ll begin to purr and lean into your hand, showing just how much she enjoys attention. Hazel is a true senior sweetheart who loves cozy naps, snuggles, and following her favorite person around for some extra love. She’d make a perfect companion for anyone seeking a calm, affectionate little shadow. Hazel likes to be the queen of her castle, which means she'd prefer to be the only pet in her home. She can be a bit territorial with other cats, ensuring all the love and attention stays on her. In recent weeks, we’ve learned more about her needs; Hazel has kidney disease that is managed through a special diet and fluids three times a week to keep her comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for a snuggly senior girl to fill your home with purrs and love, Hazel might just be the one for you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
