Meet Guess Who? – The Purrfect Mystery You’ll Want to Solve!Guess who’s got stunning tortie fur, a heart full of love, and a bottomless appetite for pets and snacks? Guess Who? That’s right—this little lady was found all by herself on a walking trail, but don’t worry, she’s not lost anymore… just waiting for you to find her!She has yet to meet a human she doesn’t adore, and if you’ve got hands for petting and a treat or two, you’ll be her new best friend. In fact, she’d be thrilled to get love, pets, and food all at the same time—talk about multitasking!So, Guess Who? is ready to find her forever home. Could it be yours? Apply to meet her and find out!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.April 3, 2025, 9:04 pm

Story
Hold on a minute I'm listening to my stories. You're welcome to join me if you like. I'll put on some tea for you. What's that?... You're going to have to speak up dear. I'm not as young as I used to be. You want to know my story? Well now, my name is Gracie. I need a forever home where I can relax without a care in the world. I'm unsure about dogs, children, and other cats. Come visit me today! $55.00 Fee includes initial vaccines, worming, microchip with registration, and free vet health exam. This pet has been fed Royal Canin cat food, donated to us by Royal Canin. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 9.15 Age: 9yrs 0mths 0wks
