Story
Location: Lexington, SC Name: Kenya Age: 8 weeks (DOB: 3/25/25) Breed: DSH - Patched Tabby M/F: F Spayed/Neutered/Shots: have had first round of FVRCP and been dewormed; flea treated Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: good with everything they have ever met Aggression or medical issues?: kenya does a bit of fear hissing at first but has never hurt anyone and this resolves very quickly Additional info/story (personality): very sweet with no problems being held. Was raised by children more than anything so have been handled a lot. Does take a bit to warm up at first. Date of birth is known, but she is still under 2 lbs so she should grow up to be quite petite. Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required to ensure good home and remaining vetting is completed (2 more rounds of FVRCP, rabies, and spay).
