PORTOBELLO

AGE: 2 - 3 years DESCRIPTION: DSH - Tortoiseshell Tabby (Torbie) LOCATION: PETS Shelter (114 W Main Street) - Panora, IA MY STORY: One day in early September a pregnant stray showed up at the rodeo grounds and local residents began feeding her. It wasn't long after that she had a litter of 3 kittens that looked like mini versions of her. One of the residents made contact with us and we were able to take mama and her 3 little mini me's and place them in a foster home. They became our little mushroom family! Mama is Portobello and she did an excellent job raising her babies and was so loving and was very protective of them. When the babies were small she would growl and get her hackles up whenever she sensed another cat in her foster home was getting too close. Now that she is done raising her family, she wanders freely throughout the shelter and gets along with everyone - whether that be kitty or human! Port found that she liked a full food bowl and is a tad roly poly right now but she's usually on the move and the added exercise has helped her shed a little of that weight. She rubs against walls, cat trees, your legs, and whatever else to get your attention and she is usually smack dab in the middle of kitty playtime. Her claim to fame is that she snores when she sleeps! She sports a snazzy tortoiseshell tabby (making her a torbie) coat but has none of the tortitude that usually accompanies a tortie! MORE DETAILS: Inside-only home and must keep claws. The adoption fee for this kitty is $25. Adopt a pair of kitties for $50.

We ask that interested parties fill out a cat adoption questionnaire only if you are seriously considering adopting this sweet kitty.

Once you have submitted the questionnaire, an adoption coordinator will contact you usually within 24 hours. Please be patient and thank you for your interest in this kitty.
