Story
Purrty is one of 7 cats born to an unowned outdoor cat. We took her litter in when they were young to tame and snuggle so they wouldn be added to our community's feral cat population. Purrty is a sweet, calm, and quiet girl. She's small for her age and she loves to play gently and to cuddle. She loves to snuggle and she loves treats.
