Torti is one of the last cats from the Bayou Corne rescue.
Years ago, after a massive sinkhole forced the evacuation of an entire neighborhood, these resilient felines were left behind. One resident saw them and couldn’t just leave them. She cared for them for serveral years, and got them TNRed. She reached out to us to help relocate them before the entire neighborhood was given back to the swamp as it was no longer habitable. You may remember them from our show!
We’re not exactly sure how old Torti is, but she’s at least 12 or 13 years old now. Don’t let her age fool you though—this regal Tortie still rules the roost (on her terms, of course… as only a true Tortoiseshell can). Sweet, sassy, and oh-so-independent. She once had a best friend from Bayou Corne who sadly passed away several years ago. But recently, she’s surprised us all by bonding with one of our younger feral cats, Frickie. Watching her take this youngster under her paw is truly something special.
From the sinkhole to sanctuary life, Torti’s journey is a reminder that love, healing, and friendship can happen at any age.
