Arizona Humane Society’s Pet of the Week

Bee is a calming force, with her only mission in life being rest and relaxation. The 13-year-old Domestic Shorthair kitty was brought to the Arizona Humane Society by her original owner as a surrender after it was determined they could no longer care for her. Now, all she wants is her spot on the couch again to live out her golden years. Bee isn't a big girl by any means, with her soft and fluffy fur making up most of her 7.5-pound weight. She is a gentle and sensitive cat who just needs some patience and understanding to come out of her shell. With time and a calm environment, Bee will show her true colors and become a loyal and loving companion who will treasure your company.
