My story

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

Hi there! My name is Penguin and I'm a pretty black and white kitty. I may be a bit shy initially, but I open up quickly. I like nothing better than entertaining visitors and having fun. I'm a lively girl who's charming, sociable and playful. I enjoy pets and head rubs. I don't mind being brushed. I like Temptations and Churus. I really love chasing wand toys and swatting at pipe cleaners - so much fun. I also like fuzzy mice, especially when sprinkled with catnip! I am looking for a loving person to share their life with me. I will need daily play and interactive games to keep me happy. Leaving enrichment items around the house for me to find is another good way to keep me from getting bored. I'm great company, lots of fun and always ready to play. Do I sound like just the kitty your life is missing? If so, you should come down to the shelter to meet me. Then, we can get this kitty party started!
