She was brought to HSCO after her owners were unable to keep her due to changes in their life. Alex is a smart, active gal who would make an excellent addition to a family looking for an adventure buddy. Alex can be a timid girl in new situations, and will need a home with no children younger than 12. Come meet her today! SHUNEE knows what she wants and is quick to tell you what she doesn’t want! This queen will allow a few pets on her head and shoulders (not too much on the back and tail, thanks!) and will talk to you at meal time to make sure you’re serving her at the proper moment. Her perfect home will be one with only adults (and maybe other cats). Are you ready to serve at Her Majesty’s pleasure? SPONSORED BY YOUR PET-FRIENDLY REALTOR!
