Enjoy!

Daisy
Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Daisy is a lovely lady that is looking for a new home. The people that found her say she has been mostly an outdoor cat, but she is making herself right at home here in the shelter - thus we think an indoor home will suit her just fine! Daisy will need a slow and patient introduction to other pets in the home, and will do best with older children. She is about 3-years-old, and will be spayed as part of her adoption. Ask about Daisy at the shelter today!
