Meet Cara, Italian for dear which is exactly what this sweet girl is. She came to FFGW from a rural shelter in southwest Virginia. Cara is fearless, outgoing and adapts quickly to new environments. She settled in immediately at her foster home, exploring her new surroundings and wanting lots of pets!

She loves to talk and greet you at the door. Cara is a brave girl who amazingly shows no fear when the vacuum come out. She also has an adorable way of drinking her water from a bowl - check out the video here

When it is playtime, catnip toys are always fun and even an empty cardboard box can become a toy to chase around! Check out the video of Cara vs the box here (featuring her kittens who have since found their forever home). Cara would do best as an only cat that gets all your attention and she can't wait to find her new family!
