Eleanor

Hello there! My name is Eleanor (85923) and I'm an awesome older gal searching for my forever home and family. I am a super-duper cat who really has it all. I love to play when you wiggle a toy just right. I love to curl up in your lap or another cozy spot and get tons of petting. I also enjoy having my lovely coat brushed. When I'm really happy I'll make little muffins with my paws to show my love! I'm easy going and tolerant, too--nothing seems to phase me. If you have room in your heart for the perfect all-around cat, look no further! I am currently available for adoption at HSSV's Satellite Adoption Center inside of PETCO Saratoga (El Paseo de Saratoga).
