Meet
M ARTI,
ARTI a b beautiful
if l 3-year-old
ld
Tabby in need of a forever home.
Arti is rather cautious around new
people and situations, but once
she warms up she is very sweet
and friendly. This beautiful girl
has a lot of love to give! Arti was
surrendered to us because she
wasn’t getting along with a small
dog in the home, so we believe
she may best in a home with no
dogs. Come meet Arti today!
