Bluebelle

Sorry we caught Bluebelle with that 'bed head' look—but we could not wait to post this lovely cat to get a jump on finding her a new home! She is off to the groomer to get bathed and brushed out and should be looking like a million bucks by the time you come to meet her. Bluebelle was rescued from a local shelter in Virginia where for some inexplicable reason she was overlooked! You could not ask for a nicer cat!



Korats have extraordinary powers of hearing, sight and scent. They are gentle pets, moving softly and cautiously, disliking sudden, loud or harsh noises. Korats form an exceptionally strong bond of affection with their owners and respond warmly to cuddling, setting as close as possible. They mix well with other cats but tend to want to have the upper hand and will not let the others keep them from their rightful place at their owner’s side. Korats are active in their play, but are very gentle with children. Their hair does not float off when they are being stroked and petted, so many people with an allergy to cat hair find their proximity tolerable. They have been cherished for centuries in their native Thailand and they naturally expect this tradition to be maintained wherever they go. They are considered a symbol of good fortune by the Thais. Many good luck traditions surround the Korat: they are the color of silver, signifying wealth; they are the color of rain clouds, with eyes the color of young rice, meaning good crops. The gift of a pair to the bride ensures a fortunate marriage.
