My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Thank goodness that a kind lady talked a mean nasty man out of throwing Zelda and her kittens into the local dumpster. She gave him money and took the kitties. It is a long story but Zelda was saved from being thrown in the trash in Cairo and through a village of angels made it all the way to Fairfax, VA to find her forever home.
Zelda is a very sweet short-haired fuzzy calico with the saddest most forlorn face. Her horrible start in life made her so scared of people and other felines but through patience and kindness in her foster home she has blossomed into a love starved "Cleopatra" demanding to be petted and craving attention.
Zelda really prefers to be an only cat with no other pets around. From her life on the streets she obviously was very traumatized and probably picked on by other cats.
If you are looking for a beautiful sweet and deserving cat who will give you so much love and devotion back, then Zelda is your girl. She is about 18 months to a year old, fully vetted and healthy.
Please consider fostering her. Her current foster is traveling for a month this fall so Zelda needs a new foster home or better yet... A forever home.
