Amarena would do best in a calm, predictable home without small children, where she can feel safe and build trust at her own pace. With a quiet space, a soft voice, and someone willing to let her blossom in her own time, Amarena has all the potential to become a loving, loyal companion. At SDHS:Amarena has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Amarena is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Blue Tabby Weight: 9.9375 Age: 7yrs 5mths 0wks
