My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Behind her mask of beauty is Orchard’s guarded purrseverance to survive a life of many challenges. While her difficult start in a frantic home taught her to be suspicious of us humans, her recovery thanks to treats and gentle praise has been astounding. This demure grand dame would thrive in the warmth of a tranquil setting with older children, and adults who’ve nurtured fearful feline friends before. The patience we’ve shown Orchard has been rewarded with her elegant gratitude; a similar pace in her next home will set her up for the life of luxury she is due.

When you decide you want to adopt, an associate will help you fill out an application.
