Hello, my name is Bella, and when I came to AdvoCATs two years ago, I was optimistic of finding a purrfect family. You see my family left me when they moved, and if it were not for the lady who bought the place, I would be lost. She got to know me and then, when it got cold, let me live in a spare room. She had a “crotchety old man cat” who did not like me much, or, as she told me sadly, she would have kept me. Everyday she played with me, groomed me, and took me for walks outside (always supervised) for exercise. She took me to the vet to make sure I was okay. I stayed with her for six months, and all the while she tried to find me a good home.

She found AdvoCATs and worked with them to help me find a new home. She was so sad but she checks on me a lot (she's my virtual foster). At first, I was feeling a bit abandoned again, but the AdvoCATs has turnout out to be a good place to stay (for now). I love the humans here and the other cats are really cool. We have a great time. It is not the same as having my own family though.

I love to play, and I'm very affectionate: I purr, kneed, play patty pat, slobber a bit, and talk and talk. It sounds a lot like I’m growling, but I can’t help it: I just love humans, I forget myself! I can tell you all kinds of terrific stories. The lady who found me said I tell best stories ever, I love to chat. I do not like to be in a cage very much, so I do not go to the adoptions that often, but if you ask about me, I will be there, I promise.

I like kids and other cats, so big families are not a problem. I do not go outside anymore (it's just not good for me in the long run) and will be happy with a window or two. I am not very big, rather petite actually, so I do not take up a lot of space, even on your lap. I have watched a lot of my friends come and go, and as much as I like it at AdvoCATs, I sure would like a family of my own.

I hope if your reading this, you are “my person.” They say I have one just waiting for me, are you it?
