Venus has come a very long way since she arrived at Forgotten Felines. At one time this gorgeous, plushy black cat would hide from visitors, but now she is a room greeter who will roll over when she sees people! She loves to be brushed and is very playful. Venus loves the company of both people and other cats! This playful, loving girl is ready to give all her love to a family of her very own. To adopt Venus or any other cat or kitten, please call the Forgotten Felines adoption line at 860-669-1347 or apply online at www.forgottenfelinesct.org.

Find Your Match at Forgotten Felines: Forgotten Felines holds open adoption events every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 153 Horse Hill Road, Westbrook.
