With kindness and consistency, Camilla will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who will reward your patience a hundred times over. 🐾 About Camilla: 🐱 Female – Tiger/Calico mix 🎂 Estimated DOB: 8/8/2024 💉 Up to date on shots & spayed 🧼 Fully litter box trained 🐶 Gets along with other cats and dogs 🏡 Could thrive as an indoor-outdoor or even a barn kitty, where she can feel free while still knowing the comfort of a safe, loving home Camilla may be shy, but she has the heart of a survivor and the soul of a sweetheart.
