"If you can't already tell that fetch is my favorite game by the ball in my mouth, then I don't know what you are thinking. I think I'm a fantastic girl with a heart of gold who really wants a home before the Christmas holiday. I would really love if you come and sweep me off my paws and give me a comfy couch to lounge on, forever!"

"Although I might be a bit shy at first, I love getting attention and spending my spare time bird- and people-watching. I'm really lonely in the shelter and would really love a family to give me a second chance at life. If you think I can be your fur-ever companion, look me up here!"

"Please don't let my age fool you; cats live for a long time! I will be your best calm cat companion who will love to lounge around my new home and beg for attention when I want it! Please keep in mind that I like getting attention, but not too much, so I will let you know when I'm done. I think I deserve a loving home, so check me out here!"
