This adorable sweetheart is Cleo, a 3-year-old gray and white Tuxedo. We have nicknamed her Madame Cleo. 

While she is still a shy girl, she's learning all about trust and that she's safe. She was abandoned by her person, but she's showing off her personality in slow strides. 

Her favorite things are enjoying treats and wet foods as well as having behind her ears scratched. She's quite a little talker with a cute chitter that lets you know she's involved. When she purrs, it is like a freight train and she's quick to share kisses in her happiness. 

Fastest way to get her to purr outside of scritches behind her ear is to tell her what a beautiful girl she is. Those engines just start right up!

She may look like she's scowling at you, but this is due to her Eyelid Agenesis. It is likely a congenital issue that was repaired by surgery. It just leaves her looking like she's ready to wear a monocle.

Clea is still learning and has an almost quiet curiosity. She's begun trying to learn to play, especially with a wand toy. She will never pass up on a chance to bird watch from the nearest window, though she does tend to prefer doing it on cloudy days. Most recently, she's begun to enjoy lying beside you in bed, but she prefers to be by your knees and ignored unless she initiates affection. 

Cleo would do best in a quieter, low energy household. She still finds new and loud noises scary and tends to run to the nearest hide until she determines it is safe. If you think Cleo would be a good fit for your heart and home, please contact Laura at 540-373-2506.
