PENELOPE: Cat of the Week

Psst, hey you human, I wanna let you in on a little secret...

I might seem timid when you first meet me, but the way to my heart is chin scratches. Oh yes! As soon as you start petting me under my chin and around my cheeks, I will absolutely melt into your hand. Hi, I'm Penelope and you won't find a torbi kitty sweeter than me.

So what's a torbi? The term “torbie” is short for tortoiseshell-tabby which is my color pattern. I'm gorgeous if I must say so myself. I have FIV but I can live with other cats. The adoptions counselors here are happy to discuss it with you. The important thing is that you come to meet me. I'm positive you won't be going home alone!
