Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Matilda Jean (Matty for short) is just an old lady looking for a warm comfy spot and a loving family to spend her golden years with.

She loves being loved and when she's ready to be held she will bark until she gets your attention . She's also happy to accept any extra lovings you wish to bestow upon her. This girl just wants to be a lap dog, and after all she's been through, she deserves it now more than ever.
