Hi, I’m Shenzie! (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Connecticut Humane Society

This adorable feline will just break your heart as she rubs against her cage to get your attention. Her name is Shenzie, a 10-year-old spayed female DSH that can be found at the CT Humane Society (455 Post Road E., (203)227-4137). She was surrendered because of “allergies.” Although allergies are nothing to sneeze at, we think that serious antihistamines are a better alternative than not having this cutie in your life. She is extremely friendly and loves attention. Shenzie was declawed (yuck!) by her previous owner and needs to be an indoor cat. So, fluff those sofa and toss pillows and get ready to bring Shenzie home.
