       PET OF THE WEEK

Boo! A cute little lady.

I am a very sweet and smoochy once I get to know you. I can be a bit quiet and shy to start with, just give me some time then we can be friends.

I will need to go on a weight loss journey in my new home to stay healthy. I prefer to be an only cat as I want all your attention and love on me.
