Amelia
Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · Young (5 months 5 days) · Female · Medium · Avalon, CA
Notes from Catalina Island Humane Society
This sweet but shy little girl is named Amelia after Amelia Earhart due to her constant "Airplane Ears". Airplane ears is just a cats way of telling us they are feeling anxious or scared. Despite being shy and scared she does really love pets and lap cuddles with people she has gotten to know. Amelia will be a wonderful lap cat and is otherwise beginning to come out of her shell. She has a shortened tail likely due to a genetic deformity or possibly umbilical cord cutting off the tip in utero.
