“Hello. Yes, I seem a bit shy, but it’s more that I just have no idea what I am doing here. But, hello, anyway. I understand it’s Tortie Month here at Feline Rescue, and I agree that I’m a fine Tortie girl. But I belong in a gentle, quiet home with gentle, quiet people who love me. I do not believe I belong here with these riotous, undignified hooligans – well, those orange and yellow hooligans. Did you see the way the small one just bounced over the big one? So untortie….dear me.”

“OK, let’s talk about me. I am Bella Rosa, which means “Beautiful Rose” or, maybe, “Beautiful Red”. I’ll take the Beautiful part; I think tortie is beautiful. A tortie is a meditation piece; study my colors, look for the patterns, follow the design. Pretty soon, your mind is quiet. Watch my small black nose in the midst of colors; watch me rise and fall softly as I purr. Soon, you are purring, too.

I am a dignified young woman. People say I was a “stray cat”. But someone once gave me a home – I know because I now have no front claws. I can’t defend myself against hooligans! I say I came here from the Renaissance, from Florence, Italy, perhaps. I have that calm serenity about me, don’t you think? Perhaps Mona Lisa was my sister? Perhaps you are da Vinci and will paint Bella Rosa’s tortie portrait?

I will purr for my special people. I much prefer people with dignity, not the young ones with too much energy and silliness. Bella Rosa simply does not know what to do with them! She knows what to do with someone who offers a warm lap. She knows what to do with someone who imagines playing a harpsichord. Bella Rosa imagines playing one, too.

How about coming by to meet me, to discuss madrigals, and purr? $120 in 21st century currency will take us both to your gentle home where I belong, and we will love each other.

PS: I currently reside at THE ADOPTION CENTER (not in foster care). If you can't stop in but would like to know more about me, please call 651-642-5900, ext.3. Thanks!
