New York cat Julie, rescued from hoarders, needs a new and healthier home

By Christine Rousselle

Julie, a 4-year-old shorthair black-and-white cat with "mesmerizing light green eyes," had a rough start to her short life.

She was rescued from a hoarding situation.

Julie is a resident at the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, and she has made great strides since her rescue.

"She loves to play, especially with toy mice, and she is known to go crazy for a feather wand," the shelter told Fox News Digital.

While Julie gets along great with other cats, "she can be a bit nervous at first with people," according to the shelter.

Her attitude has been improving, however.

"She has finally figured out that being petted is a good thing and has given into the purrs," a shelter official said.

"This once under-socialized kitty has come so far already. Just imagine what she could do in a forever home."

In addition to her gorgeous green eyes and tuxedo-style coloring, Julie is a medium-sized cat, weighing just over 11 pounds.
