Shelly - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Enfield, Connecticut

🐾 Meet Shelly! 😻

Shelly is a gorgeous, petite 11⁄2-year-old dilute calico who came to ECCP as part of a large surrender involving around 10 cats and kittens. She and her sister, Megan, enjoy each other’s company while still being very independent little ladies. ❤️

Shelly can be shy at first, but once she gets comfortable, her spunky personality starts to shine! She loves getting lots of pets when she’s in the mood for attention and is becoming more confident every day. 🥰

This little girl is also a polydactyl, meaning she has an adorable extra toe! 🐾 And she’s definitely got a playful side. Her favorite activities include chasing wand toys, batting around balls, running through tunnels, and climbing on the cat tree. She also has a favorite little mouse that she likes to hide away for later. 🐭😂

Shelly and Megan are interested in meeting the resident cats in their foster home, but those introductions will happen once their foster’s extra feline friends have gone home. We’ll have more to share about how they do with other cats soon!

Shelly is a tiny, beautiful girl with plenty of personality just waiting to come out. Give her a little time to feel safe, and you’ll get to see the sweet and spunky girl underneath that initial shyness. ❤️
