Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea

Hi, my name is Sweet Pea! I am a long haired, mostly black in color, spayed female kitty. My favorite thing to do during the day is to sit up on my cat tower and watch the inner workings of the clinic. I am missing all of my teeth, but believe it or not I am able to eat dry kibble without any problems! I am a little timid at first but have already warmed up to all the people that take care of me. I would do best in a quiet setting, but I also wouldn't mind some other feline companions as well. I hope I can find a new home soon!
