Tortoiseshell and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Vaughan, Ontario

***Turtle has found a friend for life in Tabatha. The two offer each other the love, security and companionship that are truly beautiful. They must be adopted together

Turtle is a lovely tortie girl with a gentle spirit and a quiet nature. Like Tabatha, she came from a difficult outdoor life and is still learning to trust people. Turtle remains very shy, but she has begun to show her sweet side by allowing gentle pets when approached slowly and calmly.

When Turtle met Tabatha, it was instant love. These two shy girls quickly became inseparable and can often be found rubbing their heads together, cuddling up for naps, or sharing a sunny spot by the window. Their bond has helped both cats feel safer and more secure, and they truly bring comfort to one another.

Because of their close connection, Tabatha and Turtle must be adopted together. They will need a patient and understanding home willing to give them the time they need to settle in and continue building trust. Watching these two slowly come out of their shells together will be an incredibly rewarding experience for the right adopter.
