Our sweet Purrl... She is truly one of a kind! She is very loving and affectionate. She has the most beautiful vibrant green eyes. Purrl has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FIV/FELV negative. Unfortunately, Purrl was adopted once before but the other cat in the home did not agree with the family's decision to bring a new kitty into the home. She gets along and enjoys other kitty companions though! Apply for Purrl here! happytailsanimalshelter.org

Story
Introducing our dynamic duo... Tinsel and Twinkle! These sweet girls were brought in earlier this winter as local owner surrenders. They were suffering from a severe dental issue that is manageable, but sadly required immediate extractions! We fell in love with their innocent sweetness even when in such discomfort. Now that they have received the TLC they so desperately needed, they are happier than ever! Now all they need is a home! Both have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV/FELV negative. Apply here! happytailsanimalshelter.org
