COLLETTE is a 10 year old
Domestic Shorthair cat looking
for her retirement home! This
friendly cat has had several
homes in the past few years, but
she is patiently waiting for her
new family. After a few days here
at the shelter, Collette has settled
in and warmed up to staff and
volunteers. She very much prefers
to do things her own way, so it will
be important that her new home
respects her wishes and allows
her the space to feel at home.
