👑 Queen Nova has landed! Don't let her tiny size fool you, she's got sass for days and can dish it out just as well as she takes it! This little love bug 🐞 is all about snuggles, kisses, and getting her smooch 💋on (she'll even stand on her hind legs to get picked up, talk about determination!). Staff loves her, she loves staff, and brotherly love is her jam (literally, they're litter mates!). Watching her chase toys and jump after bro is the best entertainment ever! Oh, and btw, we're open Mon-Fri: 8:00am-4:00pm, Sat-Sun: 10:00am-3:00pm. Come for the laughs, stay for the snuggles! 😉🐾
