Billie is one of two cats who are still with us at the shelter. She came to us when her owner had to move and had trouble finding a home that Billie can move with them too.
She is about a year and a half old , with white and orange/black spots which we would call a calico-colored cat. Recently she was in a foster home, and she did very well the family. They had nothing but good things to say about our friend Billie. They did confirm that she can be sassy but if you have had sassy cats in the past, she is a breeze. There were two adults, a college, and high schooler I believe so she hasn’t met small children or cats. She was not happy with a dog we had visit with her so we would prefer her to go to a dog free home. Also, if you are looking for a cat like Billie but a tad bit older, we still have Chrissy who is waiting for her forever home. Come visit our website cthumane.org to see who is available in Westport. If you are interested in adopting; we are now doing in person adoptions from 12- 4pm. We hope to see you then!
