Mirabelle

Hello friends! Some of you might have noticed I posted a couple of mysterious black cat photos in my Cute Kitty Photo of the Post. So now I would like to formally introduce you to Mirabelle!



Mirabelle, or Mira for short, has been in foster care for the last two and a half years and is about four and a half years old (we think, her age when she came into rescue was an estimatation). She was rescued from a horrible place, where cats were kept in bird cages with no litter, hardly any food or water, very little human contact, and were obviously being used to pump out kittens. People can be so awful! Thankfully, Mira and others were rescued by the wonderful people at Best Friends Felines. She had three babies the night she came into foster! They all got homes long ago, but of course being adult and black, Mira was overlooked for adoption herself.



She spent those two and a half years in foster turning into a wonderful sweet sassy little girl. She doesn't like to be held, and while she loves pats she doesn't like it if you go straight for her head, but that is all understandable given what she went through. But she loves affection on her terms.



She is settling in with Eloise and Boo. Though poor Eloise is not sure what to make of it, given that Mirabelle may be small but can also be a bit of a menace! But we are working things out.



Anyway, you'll be seeing her pop up on my posts from now on! And yes, for those keeping score, this does mean I have three black cats at home now!
