Doll is a total sweetheart! She is super affectionate to other cats, she enjoys "caring" for and cleaning the other "momma cats" in the room. Doll came in as a young mom, her kittens are weaned but she likes to take care of any cat that will let her pamper them. She is a pretty lady with a pink nose. We estimate her to be around a year old. COMPLETED APPLICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES. If you are interested in adopting, the FIRST step is to complete an application.
