She is a sweet, friendly little girl with a big personality! Emma has previously lived with another cat, and they got along quite well, but she does not do well with dogs. Emma can be a bit shy at fi rst, so she will probably need lots of room to settle in and warm up to her new family. Come meet her! “My name is KIRA and I was brought to BrightSide by some great people who found me all by myself! Now I’m ready for my new forever home. I’m a 6.5-yr.-old girl who walks gently on a leash, and I’m learning how to calm myself down around other animals. Cats are too tempting, so a kitty-free home is best, and I’d really prefer to be the only animal in the house. Please come meet me!” SPONSORED BY YOUR PET-FRIENDLY REALTOR!
