Say hello to Gretchen, an elegant tabby cat with a white bib and a hankering to play. She also has gorgeous brown stripes, and a triangle-shaped “cream” patch to the right of her pink nose.

Currently at Ahimsa Haven, she’s receiving care for a case of “stomatitis,” an issue revolving around tooth problems, but this hasn’t “dampened her spirits” at all.

She’s just four years old, and otherwise in excellent health. Gretchen gets along great with everyone — kids of all ages, cats, and even dogs. She’d be a great fit in a home in need of another four-legged buddy.
