We think Raquel has had a difficult life. She was part of a feral colony with which Tabby’s Place was working. She was found to have a serious upper respiratory infection, so we took her in and treated her. We believe she was born in 2005, and it just didn’t seem right to put her back outside, so she’s living with us now. The URI she had was certainly not her first; she has chronic upper respiratory issues.

Raquel is a beautiful torbie of no great size, with white on her muzzle and orangey-brown tabby markings. She’s very shy with us right now, which is no surprise, but we’re hoping she’ll relax once she’s spent some time with us.
