Fluffy white and gray cat with a pendant

Introducing Belle, this little feline who defied the odds! Back in 2019, she was found abandoned. Belle's fate took a heartwarming turn when the RSPCA rescued her. 

Cue the Birkin family, who opened their hearts and home to this brave, fluffy feline, giving her the forever family she deserves. With Belle around, there's never a dull moment!
