Sweet, fluffy black cat is comfortable around people

– The Adoptable Pet of the Week is Lil Bear, a sweet, 4-year-old cat available for adoption through North County Paws Cause.

Lil Bear is an eight-pound black cat who is currently being fostered in a home in Paso Robles. She is described as quiet, friendly, and comfortable with being held, brushed, and petted, and she purrs when handled.

Lil Bear was rescued from the streets of San Bernardino after being found pregnant and was later spayed. She was initially returned to her outdoor colony, but was later identified as a good candidate for adoption due to her comfort around people.
