A visitor to the PAWS cat room referred to Bootsie as a “champagne” tortie, though she’s officially called a “dilute” tortoiseshell. Bootsie has some of the most unique physical traits we’ve seen in a long time. She’s petite, yet somehow lanky. Her coloring is creamy with hints of dusty gray.

Just 2 years old, Bootsie is very loving and warm. You can visit her at PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 5 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or Instagram, or call 360-533-1141. Adopters who are 55 and older receive a 20 percent discount on adoption fees.
