Hi my name is Bellatrix!
I'm at the pet adoption center — come meet me.
Bellatrix, a two-year-old female, is on site at our temporary adoption center in Brooklyn!
Here’s what we know so far from her time in foster care: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wc-m_NNhfoj7prw2C-7EB5dguJHtUcm4/view?…
Her foster says "She is sweet and affectionate. Very chill. Doesn't jump on counters or scratch furniture. Loves to sleep on our couch in the sun and is very calm and loving with our kids. She is so affectionate and so well behaved that we give her the the run of the house and we don't worry. She is an active and independent cat who enjoys following me from room to room, checking in throughout the day, and being part of household activities. She is playful, energetic, and highly curious, enjoying both interactive play and self-directed play with toys. She is also quite vocal and expressive, especially during playtime and her nightly “patrols.” Bellatrix is comfortable, confident, and well-adjusted. She enjoys human companionship, has started showing affectionate behaviors such as rubbing against and licking me when she wants to. She is intelligent, playful, and full of personality, while also communicating her boundaries clearly when she does not want to be handled. Bellatrix loves carrying her favorite toy mouse around the house and proudly announcing her “catch” to everyone. She also likes to follow her person from room to room as if she’s supervising all household activities. Overall, she has proven to be a social, and entertaining companion. My favorite thing about Bellatrix is how she chooses to bond with her person. Once she trusts you, she’ll follow you around, sleep on your bed or pillow, and quietly keep you company in her own special way. She always greets me in the morning and follows me to the bathroom like my tiny shadow. She also loves to catch her own tail on my bed, which never fails to make me laugh.
While our SoHo location undergoes renovations, to meet Bellatrix, visit our temporary location at 232 Varet Street, Brooklyn. We're open daily from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm (excluding major holidays) – no appointment needed. Please remember, pets cannot be held or reserved. Come by and see if Bellatrix is the perfect match for you!
