Shelly

My story

Shelly was rescued from a local senior center where we have been doing a trapping project to spay the final female cats. Shelly was only a baby when she was found with several other kittens.  Shelly was a bit more shy than the other kittens, but has really warmed up and is a super snuggler (as you can see from the photos where she is in her foster mom's lap). She is a little unsure of new people, so she will need time to adjust and feel safe before she shows her true snuggly personality. We would recommend keeping her in her own area at first to let her acclimate, but giving her lots of cuddles so she will quickly trust her new family and show what a sweet, funny girl she is. Shelly is about a year old and truly deserves her own family.  Shelly is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, treated preventatively for fleas/ticks, and dewormed.  Shelly did initially test positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV), but has fought the virus off and is now NEGATIVE. We think this must have been something she picked up as a baby and, as her immune system developed, she was able to recover.  She likes other cats, could be easily introduced to a cat loving dog, and would be best with older children who are knowledgeable and respectful of slightly shyer kitties.  If you are interested in learning more about Shelly, please email us at bandocats@gmail.com to request an application or ask questions. May 8, 2026, 11:33 am
