Maybe torties get a bum rap? This “tortish-shell” cat displays none of the fabled “tortitude” that they cats are said to exhibit. Cassie’s owner passed away, and she’s obviously been drowning her sorrows in food. She’s a bit porky. Porky and proud! Cassie is 4-years-old, very affectionate and loves attention. She’s spayed, up to date on her vaccines and ready to be your chubby companion. She is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor. Please call 360-533-1141 or visit PAWSgh.org for an adoption application. Keep in mind, those 55 years of age and older receive a 20% discount on adoption fees.
