If you are looking for the most comfortable place to sit at Responsible Pet Care, you might have to ask Shelley to move.

Shelley has a knack for finding the perfect places to nap. When you enter the shelter you could find her laying in front of the door if the sun is shinning there. She could also be curled up on the visitor’s bench or she may have found one of the beds that the staff leaves out for other cats.

Wherever you find Shelley be sure to stop and say hello. She loves to be greeted with gentle scratches on her head.

Shelley is fifteen years old. She needs a place to retire. If you have a seat to share with her she would love to sit awhile with you and listen to your stories.
