Bella's Story

Hi, my name is Bella! I'm a GREEN pawprint, which means I will fit in well to any home. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/><br/>-Personality: Friendly, chatty, energetic, independent, sweet, shy at first but warms up quickly <br/>-Can Live with Cats: Has never lived with cats. Will need SLOW and STRUCTURED introductions to ensure everyone gets along. <br/>-Can Live with Dogs: Has never lived with dogs. Will need SLOW and STRUCTURED introductions to ensure everyone gets along. <br/>-Can Live with Kids: Has never lived with kids. May be okay with calm and respectful kids ages 6+. Initial introductions done here @ WHS to ensure it's a good fit. <br/>-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes, Bella has been indoor only her whole life. <br/>-History of Litter Box Issues: No<br/>-Energy Level: High<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay<br/>Additional Information:<br/>Bella is a young and active kitty on the hunt for her forever home! We're still getting to know her, but from what we've seen here at the shelter, she seems to be a friendly girly who will likely adjust well to most homes. She can be a little nervous at first and will likely need a bit of an adjustment period before she comes out of her shell. There are some things Bella is not experienced with - other cats, dogs, and children - but we are hopeful that with SLOW and PROPER introductions she will be able to adjust. Please remember that cats live upwards of 15 years! Make sure you're in it for the long haul before deciding to adopt. <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
