DOB approx. 1-1 1/2 years old Ursula is an absolute doll! She's very affectionate, but not needy about it. She loves hanging out with the other cats. She's a really laid back gal. Also, these pics are a bit old and she's MUCH chonkier now. heh.

Story
Hopscotch is a gentle Domestic Long Hair cat with a soft light grey and white coat. Known for her quiet and nervous nature, she takes time to warm up to new people and environments. At first, she may appear aloof, often retreating to a quiet corner to observe her surroundings from a distance. This shyness is not out of lack of affection, but simply because she needs time to feel safe and comfortable in her space. Hopscotch's reserved demeanor can make her seem distant, but those who are patient with her soon discover a sweet and tender soul beneath her cautious exterior. Once Hopscotch has warmed up to someone, her true personality shines through. She becomes an affectionate and cuddly companion, always seeking out moments of closeness and comfort. Her favorite thing is curling up next to her humans, purring softly as she nuzzles them. With a quiet, loving presence, Hopscotch shows that trust and patience are key to forming a deep bond. Although she may take her time, once she feels secure, she’s the sweetest, most loyal girl, offering the kind of gentle companionship that only those who take the time to understand her can truly appreciate. Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!! Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.
