Bella, a short-haired brown tabby with beautiful green eyes, is a sweet, affectionate cat who definitely enjoys human attention, affection and head rubs. This six-year-old was in a home where there was a young child and another cat who bullied her, and she finds a life in a shelter, with all the noises and smells of other felines, stressful. However, a bit timid at first, she loves brushing and pampering and will purr her thanks. Bella will make a great companion for an older person in a quiet household where she will blossom and light up their life!
