Adopt Me!
Louise is a 13-year-old grey domestic shorthair. While she enjoys the company of people, she prefers it to be a hands-off encounter. Lately she has been more receptive to chin and neck scratches. A cat savvy adopted will know and understand her moods and the signals she sends to indicate them.
She is seeking a forever home with someone who can appreciate her beauty, and does not need a cuddle-bug as a companion. Louise must go to a home with no other pets or children.
The Gifford Cat Shelter is a cageless, no-kill facility founded in 1884 and sponsored by Ellen Gifford.
The shelter is a pioneer in creating an environment that does not confine cats to small, movement-restricting cages.
