My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Shipshewana, a tender-hearted kitty looking for a fresh start after her family had to move without her. Nervous in the shelter, she’ll need a little extra time to feel safe in a new home—but once she trusts you, she loves being part of the family. Shipshewana has lived with another cat, a dog, and children, and may feel more confident with a laidback animal friend by her side. Her former family shared that she’s incredibly smart and loves to “chat” with her people. She’s ready for her second chance!
