Meet Holly-she's been here the longest and is ready to go home. Holly came to us from a rough situation where she learned people can't always be trusted. Now she needs some TLC from her furever family, with lots of time and space for her to learn that she's safe and people aren't so bad. She has all of her human friends trained to sit with her and give her treats without expecting anything in return-she's a smart cookie! She's really making good progress and is now purring and making biscuits for her favorite people!! Come see Holly at 6400 a Kingston Pike! Trust us, she's a diamond in the rough and she truly sparkles when she trusts you.
