Treasures is a stunning (and hefty) buff and white,
long-haired diva. She does not enjoy being at the
shelter, and can’t wait to be queen of a new realm. She
is already spayed, and ready to be
pampered and
adored.
Biloxi loves attention, but needs a
quiet introduction. After that, she
soaks up love and purrs it back.
She’s a gentle 2 year old Tabby
who has already been spayed and
had all of her shots! She sits in
the back of her kennel and can be
easily overlooked, so she needs
someone to take a minute and see
how special she is.
