My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Boss Carmela aka The Cat-in-Charge...She has quite a few nicknames here. However, behind all those nicknames, is a sweet girl who has been looked over too many times. In the shelter since 2021, she is the still hoping there is a family who will want her. While she is living fabulously in our Director`s office, spending her days on some of the most adorable cat-beds, she would much prefer a real home to office-life. She meets her human friends at the office door when you enter, she rubs immediately on your legs. If you are sitting, she makes a point to jump up on your lap to say hello. She loves life on HER terms! And as long as you follow that simple piece of advice, you will find yourself a FOREVER furry friend.
When she isn`t napping in the warmth of the sun on the windowsill, she is posing for the best photos! She was born to selfie! Her ideal home would be an experienced cat family (with teen aged kids) - No other pets! We know, it`s a tall order however with all this personality, you won`t need anyone else!
