Francesca

Francesca–its a name fit for a queen. One look into my big green eyes–and not to mention, at that beautiful coat that only a Norwegian Forest Cat wears–and people are hooked. They fall in love.

Then the questions start. We get to my age. They find out that I’m an older girl, born in 2003…and, like a once-beautiful flower, its as if Ive completely wilted in their eyes.

All those people dont know what theyre missing out on. If they saw with their hearts instead of their eyes, this is what they would see in pretty little me:

A kitty with lots of attitude, filled with confidence and personality, and tons of spunk…a loving girl who wants nothing more than a loving human to call her own…a talkative little lady who always has something on her mind to say to you…and a sweetheart who melts when she receives attention. Im all of these things and more.

Where have I been for the past few years? I was with my first owner. But she became very old and ill, and had to give me up. We were both heartbroken! When I arrived at my foster home, I was beside myself for days. I didnt want a new home; I didnt want a new owner. I had made up my mind…my life was over.

Its been said that Im a drama queen, and maybe theres some truth to that. You see, the people at Almost Home are really angels in disguise. Little by little, Ive learned that there was no reason to be so dramatic. They have helped me discover that I do have room in my heart for a new home and owner. Yes, I have found that I can love again. My life is far from over–hey, Im still in the single digits, and lots of cats make it into their twenties!

So here I am, sitting and waiting with all this love to give, but I keep getting overlooked.

Im moody with other cats, so on top of all of that, Ive been hoping and dreaming for an owner who will cherish me as their one and only kitty.

I know, I know…an older cat that needs to be an only cat–gosh, I know its a lot to ask for. People say Im dreaming big, much too big. But I think that maybe, just maybe, the next person who comes along will be different. Theyll say the magic words: Francesca is just what Ive been looking for!

So how about it…Will you be my new angel in disguise?
