My name is Bessie!

Bessie’s adoption fee is sponsored! 🎉
Bessie is bonded with her brother, Basie, and they would love to find a home together—because life is better with your favorite sibling by your side.

Bessie is a shy, gentle girl who is gaining confidence every day. She may prefer to observe before jumping in, but once she feels safe, you’ll see her playful side come out—especially when she’s racing around the house and playing with Basie. She’s not one to demand attention and will do best with a patient adopter who lets her come to them on her own terms.

She finds comfort in the presence of other cats, loves cozy hiding spots, and thrives in a calm, understanding home. While she may never be a constant lap cat, Bessie has so much quiet love to give to someone willing to meet her where she is.

If you’re ready to open your heart to a sweet sibling duo and enjoy double the joy (and zoomies), Basie and Bessie are waiting for you. Apply at waalrescue.org/adopt 🐾
