Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Estimated DOB: 11/11/25   Adoption fee: $100 (6% KY sales tax included)  Sweet little Margie is the smallest of her litter and the last to be available for adoption. Her beautiful dilute tortoiseshell coat is so unique yet subtle.  This gal is a talker, and she can even sound like a tiny dinosaur when she gets impatient for squeeze up treats or wet food, which she LOVES. She carries toys around and could easily learn to fetch, especially with her favorite yellow fuzzy mouse that rattles.  She also loves to snuggle, particularly when she finally runs down and gets sleepy. She has so much love and personality to share with you! We would love to hear from you!
