Shelter Animal of the Week: India

Shy and demure, yet stunning, India is unsure of the world outside her cage.

India is a lovely teenage Domestic Short Hair who is waiting to be adopted from . Her shy personality hinders her from ‘shining’ as brightly as other pets. However, this big ol’ gal has plenty of love to give.

Her timid, yet quirky, nature is a rather fascinating trait to observe. Every now and then, she will duck her head down (or twist it to the side) and then suddenly pop it back up again. Perhaps this is how she was given her endearing nickname, “Peekaboo.”

For what India lacks in personality is more than made up for with her stunning good looks. She has a lush, gray-striped coat, with long white whiskers. Beware of her gaze; her sultry eyes are quick to draw visitors in.

India loves attention, so be sure to pet her in nice long strokes. If given just a little love, this rolie polie cat is sure to put a smile on her new owner’s face.
