Bates

My story

Bates tolerates some attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.A volunteer writes: Bates looks like a Beanie Boo doll with her soft glittery eyes made all the more pleading when I picture her waiting in front of someone's house, as she did, for some help. Later scooped up by a good Samaritan who noticed Bates looking a little worse for wear and brought her to us to get her started on the next step, we don't know much about Bates before she came to the shelter. We've slowly been learning more about her and it seems our effort has meant enough to Bates as she's shown us more about herself. Bates loves treats and especially loves when it's just a little bit quiet. This is when Bates accepts pets and her openness means the world to us. Bates is looking for a patient family where she'll be welcomed and included for exactly who she is. Primary Color: Gray Tabby Weight: 10.6875 Age: 8yrs 2mths 3wks
