A volunteer writes: What a sweetie. She is a little shy but loves attention. She loves being petted and then retreats for a minute but then comes back and she loves to look around to see who else is here and what is going on. Gentleness, your name is Tortie. A sweetie. This is a truly sweet huggable and sociable kitty. She rubs up against the bars the minute you approach her. She loves as much attention as you can give and she talks to you to let you know how happy she is. She is also a beauty. She would be a great member of any family.
