Hi… I’m Recess! I’m a 2½-year-old black long-haired kitty with a soft soul and a quiet way about me. I can be a little bashful at first—I like to take my time getting to know new people and places—but once I feel safe, I start to show my sweet, affectionate side. I enjoy peaceful moments, cozy hiding spots, and watching the world from a comfy perch. I’m not the loudest or boldest cat in the room, but I have a gentle kind of love that grows deeper every day. If you’re patient with me, I’ll reward you with soft purrs, slow blinks, and the kind of companionship that feels really special. I’m looking for a calm home where I can come out of my shell at my own pace and feel truly safe and loved. If you are interested, reach out to adoptions@bestfriends.org for more information

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
