Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Female - DOB: 1/20/2023. Celeste is a gentle, loving soul who just wants to be adored. Recently, she had a tooth extraction and now enjoys a diet of exclusively wet food, which she happily devours. Although Celeste has developed stomatitis due to feline herpesvirus, she’s still ready to live a long, healthy, and happy life! Her adopter will just need to keep up with regular check-ups and be mindful if she ever gets sick. For her comfort and well-being, Celeste would thrive in a single-cat home where she can feel safe and healthy without the risk of passing the virus to other kitties. Celeste is truly a sweet and deserving girl, and she’s waiting for someone special to give her the forever home she deserves.
