Adopt Me!
Moo is a beautiful, black and white cow cat who is a big flirt! Check out the video we've posted here to see for yourself!
This petite kitty can often be be seen at the shelter rubbing up against visitors. But she particularly loves attention after she settles into a comfy bed. That's when she purrs up a storm and loves to have her neck & chin scratched. Sometimes Moo would rather just sit near you, so an experienced cat owner who will recognize her body language would be best for her. Moo, who is about 5 years old, is super cute and funny and once she gets to know you, Moo will come running up to greet you and meow in a cute, little way! Wouldn't you want to be greeted by this little face when you come home? Please note that Moo is not a fan of other cats and would prefer to be the only cat in your life.

The shelter is a pioneer in creating an environment that does not confine cats to small, movement-restricting cages.
