SEA is such a sweet young thing!
She’s a one-year-old domestic
shorthair beauty who came to
the shelter from an area that was
overpopulated with numerous
cats. Sea arrived with six other
cats who are all now looking for
their forever homes! These kitties
can be a little shy at fi rst, but all
are very friendly once they warm
up to you. Is Sea the one you’ve
been waiting for? Or maybe even
Sea and one of her companions?
Come on into the shelter and
meet your new best friend!
