She is a small domestic short-hair, whose blue eyes could make anyone become a cat person. She is a sweet girl who loves cuddling and showing off her parkour skills. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and ready for adoption at Adams County Pet Rescue. Visit the website at AdamsCountyPetRescue.com and fill out her application. If you can’t adopt right now but you would still like to help a local shelter, visit the website and click “donate.”
