This 15 week old kitten is just ready and waiting for her new forever home. This little girl is very talkative and likes to voice her opinion about every- thing including the fact that she doesn't always get wet food. She can be shy when she is first meeting new people but given a little time to settle in she is just fine. Her adoption fee includes current vaccines, worm and flea treatment, spay, and microchip. 2084 Oregon Street, St. Helens, OR 97051 Meet Darla! She is about a year old, and has the energy to prove it. This spunky little girl is sure to bring a smile to your face no matter what the day brings you. Imagine coming home every night to this little girl - happy, goofy, and ready for loves. She likes playing with other dogs, but we have no idea of her history with cats. We think that, due to her energy, she is probably going to do best in a home with kids that are at least 10 years old. She loves to play and chase her toys and loves to have all the appropriate things to chew on. If you are interested in meeting Darla please email animalwelfare@columbiahumane.org and we would love to answer any questions you have, send out an application for adoption, and then schedule a time for you to come in and meet this lovely little lady.
