In general, cats with long hair and round heads and bodies are more easygoing than lean cats with narrow heads and short hair, who are typically more active. Adoption counselors can offer advice to help you match the individual cat's personality with your own. 3. Schedule a veterinary visit within the first few days after adoption.

Donations offered to raise funds for less fortunate comunity kitties are made to THE PHOEBE FUND named in her honor. She spent most of her time at the front desk, and occasionally you could find her in the window, basking in the sun. She often gave us high fives, and she enjoyed sneaking Snow's food too!
