Hi, my name is Angelica, and I need a home | Pet of the Week

Angelica is a 12-year-old female tortoiseshell cat (ID #A516964). This sweet girl loves to be gently petted from head to tail and likes the double-cheek smoosh where you gently scratch/rub both her cheeks at the same time. She has quite the motor and will often purr on contact. It doesn’t take much to fuel her motor, just some love and affection. Angelica can get a bit overstimulated at times, affectionately called “tortitude,” so you should keep an eye out for signs she needs a break. She really likes to play with laser pointers. She can be a little shy at first but warms up quickly. She would love a nice window perch to sit and watch the world go by. She has lived with other cats and a corgi but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Angelica would do best in a calm household with respectful children due to her age and quiet demeanor. Angelica is litter-box trained, spayed, current on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Her $30 adoption fee also includes a free visit to the veterinarian of your choice and 30 days of pet insurance through Trupanion. You can find out more about Angelica on RASKC’s pet adoption page at www.kingcounty.gov/adoptapet. If you’re looking for a sweet and affectionate older girl to join your family, then Angelica could be the one for you.
