My story

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

Meet Sushi!
Little Sushi is the sweetest girl with a heart full of love and a personality that’s impossible not to adore. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and will soon be talking your ear off with her gentle meows and sweet chirps. Sushi loves attention and cuddles, and she’s known to occasionally flop over just to show how relaxed and happy she is in your company.

She strikes the perfect balance between affection and independence. Sushi enjoys being near you, keeping an eye on your daily activities, and even joining you in quiet moments, but she also appreciates her personal space to explore, nap, and play at her own pace.

With her talkative nature, gentle flops, and loving personality, Sushi is ready to find a forever home where she can share her affection, bring joy, and be your loyal little companion. Once you meet her, it won’t take long for her to steal your heart!

This is what Sushi`s foster had to say ` Little Sushi is the sweetest girl. She is a bit shy at first but warms up really quickly. She is a talker and an occasional flopper who loves attention and cuddles. She loves to have her independence even while in your personal space`

If you are interested in adopting Sushi, please email ajaeroihuoma@gmail.com to arrange an initial meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
