It's no wonder why she's called Pretty Girl.

Left in a vacant house for six weeks, her previous owner made sure she was fed every few days - but still left her alone.

Now she needs a new home.

Pretty Girl is 4 or 5 years old and likely about 10 pounds, silvery gray back with a white chin, chest and belly. She has four white paws.

"She has a very, very sweet and quiet nature but loves to talk to you, especially when she sees food in your hand," said her foster mom, Penny, who is allergic to her fur. "She adores having her head and chin rubbed. Don't be surprised when she flips over on her back to get a tummy rub."

Penny added, "She is also moderately playful and wonderfully curious...has to check every nook and cranny to see what's there. She loves to open doors that are slightly ajar. She is a cat after all!"

Anyone who can help Pretty Girl find a new home should call Penny at 216-561-1902.
