In the shelter’s words
Meet Bella - your future tiny, opinionated roomate with excellent taste in naps and snacks. At about 15 years young, Bella is fully settled into her "old lady era," and she's not pretending otherwise. She knows what she likes (food, cozy spots, gentle pets) and what she does not like (being picked up, unnecessary nonsense, and violations of her personal space). Respect her boundaries, and you'll earn the privilege of her affection. Bella is the definition of "love on her own terms." She'll come to you when she is ready for pets, lean in just enough to let you know you're doing it right, then wander off when she's had her fill. It's a system and it works. Bella can tolerate other cats that mind their own business and leave her alone. No young kittens for this lady! Because she is a senior, Bella has some joint stiffness and would benefit from a daily supplement and a home that makes life easy - think soft beds, easy-to-reach favorite spots, and a calm environment where she can relax and be her wonderfully grumpy self. Bella's adoption fee is $85 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations, and an FIV/FeLV test. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of having kept their pets indoors, altered, and kept current on all vaccinations and preventative care. If you would like to meet Bella, please submit an adoption application for consideration on our website, Adopthope.org.

Prior to adoption, all of our dogs have been tested for heartworm, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and home visit. The adoption fee for dogs and puppies varies. Prior to adoption, our cats have been tested for feline leukemia, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. If at the time of adoption, the kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered, an agreed upon time frame will be set for when this procedure is to be done. Spaying or neutering is not an optional procedure, it is required of all animals we rescue. The adoption fee for cats and kittens varies.
