Buttons
10 Yr Old, Spayed, Domestic Shorthair
My favorite pastimes are sitting in sunbeams and
watching the world go by! I love gentle attention from my
people and would really prefer a home with no other pets
or children. I have been tested and came back negative
for Felv and am current on my vaccinations. I can get a
little prickly at times, but not often. I do have damaged
nasal passageways, so it sounds like I always have the
snuffles. Stop by PAWS and let's get to know each other.
