Domestic Short Hair and Tortoiseshell Cats Available for Adoption

Baby Goldie (5 -7years old.)

Baby Goldie is a handsome but overweight lady who is mostly black with numerous golden patches and stripes in her coat, hence her name. She needs a loving, patient, and responsible adopter who will help her lose some weight. Baby Goldie is heavy enough that she can’t run lightly over the floor the way some of her less heavy counterparts might. She is gentle and friendly, and she enjoys being scratched on the head, but she is also reserved here at the shelter and needs her space. She needs someone who has the patience and compassion to spend time with her and help her become the best - and lighter – kitty that she can be. I’ve helped a couple of my cats lose weight; it isn’t too difficult, and they are much happier, healthier, and more active for it. They also feel freer to share their love with me and the other animals in the household. Our adoption counselors and your veterinarian can help you get started with a healthy, slowly implemented diet for this beautiful cat. After slowly losing weight, Baby Goldie will feel much better and be a good buddy in a calm household that allows her to take things at her own pace.

The Tortoiseshell cat is known for its unique coat pattern that blends various hues of red, black, and orange in a striking mosaic.
