Story
Beautiful, Sweet Cat Needs a Calm Forever Home. 🏠💕 Our sweet Isobel is looking for a new family. She is a 7-year-old American Shorthair who thrives in a peaceful environment. She is incredibly self-sufficient but will always let you know when she’s ready for some affection! Isobel loves her "outdoor time" on a leash and is a very well-behaved girl for grooming. She’s a bit of a "full-figured" lady who just wants to enjoy her treats and a sunny window. We are heartbroken to part with her and will provide all her supplies to her new family. Please reach out if you can offer this sweet girl the quiet, loving home she deserves.
