MEET VALKA - Watch her videos! *I need a cat friend in my new home!
Valka came to us on a transport from an overcrowded Texas shelter; when she first arrived she was a bit discombobulated. Now that she`s settling into our Dedham Colony Room, Valka has decided that the Bay State is okay by her and she`s enjoying gentle pets (watch her video!). Valka has the most adorable little meow that she loves to share with just about anyone she meets! Valka seems to enjoy the company of other kitties in her new space, so she might be a good candidate if you`re looking to add a feline to your crew!
Valka is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and been seen by our vet team.
