My owners had to bring me to the shelter because they couldn’t continue to care for me, and I’m feeling quite sad right now. I’m a very soft, long-haired brown-and-white kitty, so you’ll need to be willing to keep me nicely brushed. I’m also a senior girl (they say 12, but I’m not telling) who is dearly waiting for a forever home where I will be loved, and cherished, and well taken care of. In return I can offer you my heart. It doesn’t get better than that, does it?” SPONSORED BY YOUR PET-FRIENDLY REALTOR! 541-549-2275 ALI MAYEA , Broker GRI, SRS, CNE SISTERS HOMETOWN REALTY 541-549-8836 541 5 9 8836 54 541-480-9658 aliofsisters SISTERS AREA CHURCHES Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church (ELCA) 386 N.
