Meet Shirley Shirley is a gentle buff orange tabby estimated to be about 1 year old. She came to rescue after being heartbreakingly left in a box outside the local impound, but despite her rough start, she remains a calm and sweet soul. This quiet girl is very content and easygoing, happy to relax and enjoy the simple comforts of safety, soft spots, and good meals. She loves her food and is still a skinny gal, looking like she may have recently raised a litter of kittens. Now it’s Shirley’s turn to be cared for. She doesn’t seem to mind other cats, though slow introductions are recommended. Her experience with dogs is unknown. Shirley is patiently looking for a place to call home—a peaceful space where she can finally settle in and be cherished. She’s ready to leave her past behind and start her next chapter as someone’s beloved companion. Shirley is from a local impound.
