Meet Ugly Betty, affectionately named that because of her, um, “different” appearance. She’s a tortie, but is mostly black with orange randomly sprinkled in. Unfortunately, it isn’t really her appearance that keeps her from getting adopted. Though she’s been in foster care and had constant contact with people since she was three weeks old, she is still very skittish around people, and will only allow you to pet her once you are “approved”, and then only fleetingly. It was a year before she started sleeping on the bed with her foster parents, and she does get more affectionate when the house is dark and quiet. Now she jumps on the bed and head-butts her foster mom nearly every night. She is also known as “Wrap-Around” Betty, because when she rubs against you, she throws her whole body into it and you often have a tail in your face.
We know Betty isn’t the most adoptable cat, but she really deserves a chance to have a home of her own, where there aren’t so many other foster cats and so much change going on around her. She does have a reduced adoption fee. Please ask about Betty – email rmorris@netcommander.com for more information.
