Tortoiseshell kitties Bella and Gigi are waiting to get adopted in Alexandria

By James Cullum

Female tortoiseshell cats Bella and Gigi are waiting inside an office at the Animal Welfare League until they get adopted.

“Their human officemate reports they are a lot of fun to share an office with — as long as you have extra hands to do your work and pet your new feline friends,” said AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter. “We’d rate them not so high as office assistants but excellent as cuddling partners.”

Four-year-old Bella has lived with two-year-old Gigi since the latter was born. Learn more about how to meet them at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.
