Story
Lola showed up at my house about a year ago with kittens and got pregnant again soon after. She didn't have the best time after that. She had low calcium and needed IVs and supplements after they were born. But she handled all the vet visits really well and was the best mother ever. I rehomed her kittens already and got her spayed/got her shots, but rehoming her has been kind of difficult. She spends most of her time outside on my porch now and really wants to be an inside cat but I have cats inside already and too many animals to take care of in general. But she's a really sweet girl. She's been around dogs, cats, and chickens. She does great with everyone so far and she really friendly and playful but I've never had her around kids or any other animals so I'm not sure how she does with them. Also if anyone's willing to take in her best friend that she showed up with, I'm sure that would make her and him both really happy but it's not necessary.

Story
Baby Girl is a sweet girl who finds herself here because her owner has been moved to assisted living. She has lived a well loved and pampered existence as an only kitty. She is terrified of other animals so we think the best type of home for her would be a quieter adult home without other pets.
