Meet Sage! This gorgeous 10 year old brown tabby has unfortunately found herself at the shelter at her old age. She is a little nervous while she learns the ropes and learns that she is safe and loved here. Sage came in with her sister, Spindle and finds comfort and solice in her. Sage is hoping to find a nice, quiet, loving home to spend her golden years.
