This sweet girl is shy but has so much love to give to the right family!
While she's a little reserved at first and may take a little longer come out of her shell, she's quickly enticed with gentle pets and absolutely loves gentle brushing. She shows interest in feather toys, too. She prefers to eat in the company of her humans (but who can blame her, everything's more fun with friends!)
Bella would love a quiet home that will give her the time she needs to relax and build trust with her new family. She is absolutely worth the extra effort. She's lived with cats previously and with proper introductions would likely do well in a home with a social and outgoing cat who could help her continue to blossom.
Bella may initially hide in new environments or when meeting new people, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she will start to feel more comfortable and show her true personality. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make a difference in the life of Bella! Primary Color: Orange Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 4.27 Age: 2yrs 10mths 2wks

Before you Adopt
Pet adoption is a big commitment. We encourage you to spend considerable time thinking about and researching the type of pet most suitable to your family. Most breeds have their own characteristic traits and specific needs which need to be considered. Remember that some animals have lifespans of 20 years or more.
Prospective adopters will meet the following requirements:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have two pieces of identification, with at least one showing your current address and a picture.
- ALL FAMILY MEMBERS, sometimes including family pets, must be present during the adoption process.
- If you already have a dog and are considering adopting another one, you MUST be prepared to bring your current family dog to the interview. This will help you to determine if all family members and existing pets will get along with the new pet.
- If you live in rental accommodations, please confirm that your landlord allows the type of pet you are considering, and that you have paid your pet deposit before you adopt. There are NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES if the building owner does not accept the animal. In addition, you will have to pay all regular surrender fees if you need to return the animal to the Edmonton Humane Society.
If you are looking to adopt a dog or puppy please note:
Some of the dogs on our web site have recommendations on the age of younger family members. These restrictions are placed out of the concern of the dogs as well as in consideration of families.
Remember that new animals arrive every day. You may have to return to the shelter a number of times before you find a good match. It is better to wait and come back again than it is to take home an animal who does not suit your lifestyle
