*SAFE* 11/16/15 A volunteer writes: Rachel has been around the shelter a while and has overcome much adversity. She still maintains her sweet gentle side. A sweet tortie without the tortietude, she always has a pleasant nature. She would love to be friends with you as she loves affection and sharing quiet times. Maybe you can offer her that soft pillow on a window sill? Rachel would love to see the sun; after all, it gets quite dark in the shelter.
