Chloe May Be the Perfect Cat For You and Your Family

Meet Chloe! This pretty lady is as sweet and gentle as a lamb, and looking for a quiet, loving home to call her own. Chloe is our Pet of the Week!

She was not a fan of the hustle and bustle of shelter life, but has been slowly but surely blossoming in her foster home. Once you earn her trust, Chloe will purr when you give her pets and she LOVES being brushed! She likes eating treats, keeping her fur clean, and playing with toys. Chloe is an independent woman and doesn't need a lot of space or attention, so she'd make a great companion to someone living in a small apartment! The most important thing to know about Chloe is that she likes to take things slow. She's hoping to find a patient, understanding adopter that will let her settle in at her own pace.
