Update! She's been adopted!

Meet Po Butt! She was abandoned at our front door with this note. Usually we would have to send these to CAA but wanted to reach out before sending her. She's an approximately 10 week old beautiful calico with the sweetest and constant purrrrrr we've ever heard! We are overloaded after this year's kitten season and there is no more room in our homes for another kitten. Please let us know if you or anyone you know is looking for a kitten! 225-658-2242.

Edit: She had some diarrhea and tested positive for hook worms and round worms which we have treated. The diarrhea has resolved.

$100 rehoming fee will cover two sets of vaccines, spay, and Felv/FIV test.
