Story
Our sweet Purrl... She is truly one of a kind! She is very loving and affectionate. She has the most beautiful vibrant green eyes. Purrl has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FIV/FELV negative. Unfortunately, Purrl was adopted once before but the other cat in the home did not agree with the family's decision to bring a new kitty into the home. She gets along and enjoys other kitty companions though! Apply for Purrl here! happytailsanimalshelter.org

Can you say oh so adorable! These cuties are looking for their forever home. Just like most kittens, they are playful, curious, and cuddly. Two are even polydactyl- which means they have extra toes! Stop in and meet these adorable fur babies anytime during our hours!
