Meet Hazel, The Tortie With 'Tude

Tortoiseshell cat lovers, gather 'round and meet C.A.R.E. super-tortie Hazel. This adorable girl with a checkerboard face would love to come home with you. Like many torties, Hazel enjoys spending time with people and enjoys being petted. 

Hazel's favorite pastime is to hang out in C.A.R.E.'s vestibule (when the shelter's closed to the public) and watch C.A.R.E. dogs being walked in the front yard. Some she likes, others, not so much.

"Once you adopt me, I plan to spend half the time looking out your windows, half the time bonding with you, and half the time sleeping on your bed," says the mathematically challenged cat. "Cat beds are for cats, 'real' beds are for princesses, like me! I had a litter of kittens and they have all been adopted to C.A.R.E. families. Now I'm so ready to go to my forever home and become the center of attention."
