This sweet, elderly female kitty needs a home. Her owner had to leave her to live in an assisted living situation. The cat is not spayed and has not received any vaccinations. She will be turned outside in a few weeks as the house in which she is currently housed has been purchased by another person. The contents of the house will be removed and the house renovated for new occupants. She has never been outside. She probably would not fare well outdoors. If you would like to meet this kitty, call Kim at 573-694-3150. Leave a message.
