There's a lot to learn when you have a new pet. Our sister brand, The Wildest, is here to support you—with new pet checklists, virtual training, and expert guides. Sign up for free.
Does your cat need a buddy? And you wouldn't mind a not-so-affectionate cat (because maybe your cat is overly affectionate)? Consider Bella!
She is a cat’s cat! She loves being around other cats. She likes to groom her foster brothers, likes to chase and be chased, and loves to cuddle with other cats. Bella is being fostered in a home with 3 other cats of various personalities, and she gets along great with all of them.
If you are looking for a friend for your cat, Bella would be a great fit. She would do well with a cat that misses having a companion or enjoys being cuddled and playing with another cat.
Bella was rescued from outside after having a litter of kittens. She is cautious around people and prefers not to be touched. She enjoys relaxing in the same room as people and is curious about what people are doing, but is still a little afraid of them. Mostly she wants to spend time with her cat friends!
We are always surprised as the transformation we see once they know they're home so it is possible that one day Bella will be more social. She just needs someone who is patient.
