Galette - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Galette is a charming 2-year-old female tuxedo with an irresistibly cute look and a gentle presence. She recently came to us through one of our rescue partners and is still adjusting to her new surroundings. With a little time to decompress, Galette’s sweet personality really begins to blossom. She’s a lovely young cat who would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can feel safe and adored. If you’re searching for a graceful tuxedo girl ready for her second chance, Galette might be the perfect fit.
