We're hoping that someone will find it in their heart to give this wonderful cat a lap to lay on.

It’s been a few months since Gracie was our Pet of the Week, and she wants to start the mew year by saying 2022 is the year she’ll be adopted.

This sweet little black panther is a dainty 10-year-old who adores attention and has a whispery meow that will capture your heart. When she first came to the SPCA, her bloodwork showed she was likely in kidney failure; however, since bouncing back, she’s due for a recheck because she’s doing so well.

Gracie loves making new friends and adores volunteers, although she has made it clear she is not interested in babysitting young, noisy children - she will bop them with her declawed paws to teach them a lesson when she thinks they’re being naughty.

She has been happy to meet other cats and dogs while at the shelter, as long as they understand that she is elegant and graceful and is naturally their queen. Gracie would LOVE to be your lap cat!
