Story
Willow is 3 years old. She is absolutely adorable and incredibly sweet. We are a very busy, on the go family. Unfortunately, we feel Willow spends too much time home alone and is longing for more attention than we are currently able to provide. Willow is litter trained, but will use the bathtub on occasion when she is not receiving enough attention.

Story
Hi! I’m a 3-month-old black-and-white kitten with a gentle heart and a soft spot for back scratches. I can be a little shy when we first meet — new places and new people can feel a bit big to a tiny girl like me. But here’s my secret: if you start petting me down my back, I can’t resist! I’ll come right out of hiding as soon as I feel those sweet back scratches. It’s my favorite thing in the whole world. Once I know you’re kind, I absolutely melt for attention. I may start off quiet, but with a little patience, I’ll show you just how loving and affectionate I really am. Oh — and I love dogs! Having a friendly pup around makes me feel happy and brave. I’d be so excited to have a canine sibling in my forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive girl who just needs a gentle touch to shine, I think we might be perfect for each other. I’m available for adoption through the Shelter Pet Adoption Center inside Petco, located at 10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville, NC 28078. You can call 704-266-3647 or email NCteam@austinpetsalive.org to learn more about me. I can’t wait to meet my forever cuddle buddy!
