Adoptable cat Isabel just wants attention… and to relax

By James Cullum

Isabel likes things simple.

The 12-year-old black and white domestic shorted-haired cat is up for adoption with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. Chilling out and get attention are always at the top of her to-do list.

“If she feels you are not petting her enough (especially head and ear scratches, which are her favorite), she’ll gently headbutt you until you remember that you wanted to be petting her anyway,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow.

Isabel’s adoption fees have already been paid by a generous donor. If you’re interested, schedule some time to meet her virtually or in-person at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.
