Shelter Animal of the Week: Topaz

Topaz is a teenage Domestic Short Hair/Tortoiseshell (Tortie) cat who was one of from a Glen Cove home in April. The has been caring for the animals in the interim until they are all adopted.

Many of the teenage and adult rescued cats, like Topaz, have “come around big time,” according to shelter staff. Now, they are more tolerant of humans and their shelter surroundings, whereas before, they had been much too frightened. 

Being a Tortie cat, Topaz has a very intriguing coat. It is dark brown with speckles of beige and bright orange (hence, her name). She has a medium build, and long white whiskers. 

Topaz is truly a ‘gem of a cat.’ She is not only obedient - as she sits perfectly during a photo shoot - but also very sweet. She loves to play with other cats, and purrs up a storm.

If you are interested in adopting Topaz, or any other cats or dogs at the Glen Cove Animal Shelter, stop by the shelter or call 516-676-5913.
