A resident of the shelter since August 30th, 2012, Christabel is a 3-year-old spayed female that came in as a stray. She is a beautiful cat with a soft ticked coat of fur that changes from black to gray as it cascades down from her back. Ticked is a type of fur coat characteristic of wild rabbits which is comprised of hair strands that have bands of various color within each hair – perhaps she is part Abyssinian. She has glowing yellow eyes and a tail as fluffy as a feather duster which will remind you of a small Norwegian Forest Cat. Christabel is moderately active, inquisitive, and thrives with interactive play such as catch. If you toss a glitter ball her way she likes to bat it back to you, and then waits for you to toss it back to her over and over again....

Ticked is a type of fur coat characteristic of wild rabbits which is comprised of hair strands that have bands of various color within each hair – perhaps she is part Abyssinian. She has glowing yellow eyes and a tail as fluffy as a feather duster which will remind you of a small Norwegian Forest Cat. Christabel is moderately active, inquisitive, and thrives with interactive play such as catch. If you toss a glitter ball her way she likes to bat it back to you, and then waits for you to toss it back to her over and over again. She also enjoys kick toys and chasing a laser light cat toy. She tolerates other cats, but has an independent spirit and would prefer a home without too much competition for your affection. Living in the chaos of a shelter has been somewhat overwhelming for her, so we often find her camping high in a wall basket, near the top of a cat tower, or hiding in a cubby. She needs a home soon, and this is not helping her find one. Please do not hesitate to ask a member of our staff to help you locate Christabel in order to spend some time with her. She enjoys attention, but may be even more loving once she has been adopted into her forever home.  Don't forget to watch Christabel's YouTube video by clicking on the yellow icon above, or by going to the following link:  http://youtu.be/TQVopBaEpIk
