Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Bella’s story is one that’s close to our hearts. She came to us as a tiny bottle baby, was raised with love, and adopted at just 8 weeks old. Now, through no fault of her own, she finds herself back with us—looking for her true forever home.

And oh, what a special girl she is.

Bella is full of personality, quirks, and charm. She’s famously obsessed with her bell toy—so much so that she’ll chase it around until she’s panting like a little dog. Feathers? Irrelevant. She’ll remove those immediately just to get to the bell. Her current favorite looks like it’s survived a war… and she proudly carries it everywhere.

She’s also a sun-loving window watcher who could spend hours perched in her favorite spot, soaking up the warmth and keeping an eye on the world outside. If you have a screened-in porch, even better—Bella absolutely loves sitting outside, watching bugs, and enjoying the fresh air.

This smart girl knows words like “treat” and “outside,” and isn’t shy about reminding you. Expect purrs, leg rubs, and a whole lot of personality when she wants something (bonus points if you have a little Zaxby’s bread to share—her guilty pleasure).

When it’s time to wind down, Bella is a total cuddle bug. Give her a blanket and a lap, and she’ll happily make biscuits until she falls asleep right on top of you. She also has a soft spot for cardboard boxes—don’t be surprised if she claims every package that comes through your door as her new favorite hangout.

Bella is an incredibly loving, playful, and entertaining companion who just needs a second chance at a forever home that will adore her as much as she deserves.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
