Meet Belle
Belle is a 10 year old tuxedo that was surrendered to us on New Year's Eve in dire condition. She was extremely malnourished and had lost a significant amount of her fur. She was a cat that wasn't exactly sure how to cat. Our staff had some difficulty transitioning her to proper cat food because she was accustomed to only eating table scraps. She has made tremendous improvements in the past 6 months. She now knows what cat food is - though she is still a little picky - and her hair is finally making a comeback. ?? She is ready for her forever home and that should be one where she is an only cat but small dogs seem to be to her liking. She is very scared of the large dogs. She is a talkative girl and will tell you ALL about it. She also likes a lap, loves to be pet but screams like a Banshee if you try to pick her up. We believe she would do well in a house with lots of activity, if she was also given a space to take a moment to herself, if needed.
If looking for an awesome kitty who will be your companion for life, Belle might just be for you and she will continue to tell you all about her journey so far.

We do permit out-of-state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship, nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
