PAWS Atlanta says 9-year-old Betty Jo is a chatty cuddler

The affectionate cat loves wand toys and head scratches, and the shelter says she needs slow introductions to other animals.

Betty Jo is 9 years old, and PAWS Atlanta describes her as a chatty, affectionate cat. Her foster says, "The thing she loves most is cuddles, pets, and sitting right next to her human."

She loves head, face and chin scratches and playtime with spring toys, pom poms and wand toys. She can be shy at first but warms up once visitors settle in.

Betty Jo has been a bit territorial with other cats in previous foster homes. The shelter is open to her living with other animals with slow, intentional introductions. Applications are at pawsatlanta.org/cats.

“Betty Jo 🐱 might be 9 years old on paper, but she thinks you're only as old as you feel. And Betty Jo is no old lady! She's a chatty, affectionate girl who loves nothing more than spending time with you. Her foster says, "The thing she loves most is cuddles, pets, and sitting right next to her human, on your lap or chest while you're reading or scrolling in bed. She just loves being in the same room." 🥰 Head, face, and chin scratches are always priorities for Betty Jo. She LOVES playtime. Spring toys? ✅ Yes. Pom poms? ✅ Yes. Wand toys? ✅✅ Heck yes. Betty Jo is an expert hunter, and just because she's living the cushy indoor life doesn't mean she let herself get soft. She keeps her hunting skills sharp, because you never know when your human might need you to be an exterminator. Betty Jo can be a little shy at first, but once visitors have settled in, she's ready to start pandering for head scratches. She doesn't seem to love other kitties and has been a bit territorial in previous foster homes. We're open to Betty Jo living with other animals, but it would be important to do slow and intentional intros. If you’re looking for a loving, vocal companion who will keep you company, make you laugh with her playful antics, and remind you when it’s time for cuddles, Betty Jo might just be your perfect match! ♥️ 🐾 Link in bio or pawsatlanta.org/cats to apply #fostercat #fosterfriday #adoptme #cat #pawsatlanta”
