Story
Clori is a beautiful, shy Tortie girl! She has a long plush, soft coat with lovely colours. Clori is very quiet. She is content and feels safe in her own space with her "sister" Coral. Having her sister, Coral, or another like-minded cat to live with would be awesome! Clori gets along with other cats too...she's happy to have another cat to "show her the ropes"! Clori is not keen on being picked up, and is not a lap cat, but over time she has become OK accepting a treat or a head scratch! Being a true Tortie, when she has had enough, she will let us know and find a quiet, cozy place to nap. Being so shy, Clori would love that her forever people understand that she will need time - perhaps several weeks - to settle into her new home. She would be best suited to a quiet home with no small children...adults are just fine! Could Clori be the one for you? Since Clori is being cared for by her foster mom, call PAWS at 250-428-7297 to arrange to meet this pretty cat!
