Dutchess Domestic Short Hair & Calico Mix Briarcliff Manor, NY

I am a big girl and I am happy to be at the SPCA where I hope to get my weight under control. I was abandoned at the SPCA gate by the person who was supposed to be my forever guardian. This person did not leave any note or explanation in my carrier and so I cannot tell you why I was abandoned. At least I was not left in a location where no one would notice me or if they did, would not know what to do with me. Since I did not arrive with my credentials I was given the name Dutchess. I kind of like it. I think it means I am a special cat and maybe even related to local royalty. I am looking forward to meeting potential adopters who will continue to help me lose my excess weight and make sure that I stay fit and trim. Please visit and ask the staff to introduce us.
