Hello there, I'm Bella. In the quiet corners of the shelter, I've found solace. I'm a lady of refined years, cherishing peace and tranquility. My shyness might seem like a barrier, but it's just my way of observing the world around me. I've learned to appreciate the small joys of life, like a warm spot on the floor or a gentle stroke from a kind hand. I'm not one for loud noises or energetic youngsters, so I'm hoping for a home with mature companions. My age has brought wisdom, patience, and a deep capacity for love. I may take some time to open up, but I promise, I'm worth the wait. Adopting me means giving a senior cat like me a chance to spend her golden years in comfort and love. Will you be my forever friend?

The South Suburban Humane Society (SSHS) incorporated in 1970 as a small group of volunteers who brought homeless pets into their homes and worked to find them permanent homes. From those humble origins, we grew to a 501c3 nonprofit organization operating a 19,000 square foot animal resource campus in Matteson, IL that takes in more than 4,000 pets annually, a Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic, a Low-Cost Veterinary Services Clinic, and a variety of far-reaching community services. The SSHS annually impacts 20,000 pets and the people who love them through these programs.
