Bella

My story

My foster writes:Bella is a sweet tortoiseshell cat who'll bring you so much endearment and joy! Her lovely little face displays such a complex pattern of colors, with her black eyeliner and those messy eyebrows that give her this extravagant diva look.She adapted to her foster home extremely fast, within a few hours she was already on our lap purring for a quick reset before resuming her exploration.While Bella is an independent kitty, she is also craving human interactions and above all playing sessions with feathers, strings, kicker sticks and little mouse toys. One of her favorite things is pouncing at and sliding on the rug when the feather wand disappears underneath it: endless fun. Other favorites are chattering at birds and catching flies (in one try!), and chilling on your laps or on her favorite window sill. When you're away/busy, she likes to discover the pile of toys you left for her, and she likes hiding them for you everywhere in return. Bella is an explorer, her curiosity is such an entertainment! If you are active around the house, she likes to follow you to check what you're doing, and if you pick her up to show her upclose, she'll love it. If you're doing something fun like sweeping, she will crouch by a doorstep as if she's ready to pounce on the broom when you pass by her.Bella is very polite and loves that you are part of her daily routine: she says good morning when she hears you are awake, she'll jump on the bed and happily chirp, ready to start the day; and she says goodnight with a quick but sacred biscuit-making session at bedtime.From day one something that immediately caught my heart is her bouts of affection: she'll randomly appear out of nowhere and trot around toward you with the cutest chirp to rub on your legs or climb on your laps or on the desk. And when she comes to you she has this very resolute gait and cute facial expression, you can immediately tell what she has in mind. My heart is melting every time! Sometimes she'll stay with you, and sometimes she'll return to her day as quickly as she came, feeling satisfied that you love her as much as she does.Bella loves to headbutt you, but she also loves if you headbutt her! And if you yourself are feeling a bout of affection? She doesn't seem to get tired of kisses :)How to not fall in love with Bella at first sight ? She talks with her eyes, always sending you cat kisses (slow blink) and if you happen to be close enough you will certainly receive headbutts all over your face! If you give her your hand, you're in for endless nuzzles.Bella is FIV+ and will need a home with no other cats! Primary Color: Tortoiseshell Weight: 10.9 Age: 4yrs 6mths 2wks
