Her foster took her in so she could safely finish raising  her babies. She has now been in her foster home for almost a year now.  She is spayed up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. Sugar has really taken to the indoor cat life. She is sweet and loves her humans. She enjoys a good head scratch and attention  from her people. One of her favorite  things to do is lay in front of the window and watch the world go by. She does well with the children in the foster home, however  has not been tested with other cats or dogs.

Story
Doo is a 6 month old male. He is current on vaccines as well as being neutered. Doo is a gentle soul with a quiet heart. Once shy and reserved, he`s slowly been finding his confidence, one soft step at a time. As he comes out of his shell, his sweet and loving nature shines through-especially in the form of tender head bumps, warm purrs, and moments of trust he gives so carefully. Doo may take his time, but when he chooses you, it`s with a love that`s calm, sincere, and incredibly special.
