Phyllis

My story

Phyllis is a quiet kitty who has discerning taste when it comes to who can pet and hold her. She feels she has the right to size you up to see if you might be one of those people who will go straight for the belly or tail. Don't take it personally. Phyllis is her own person, well cat, and knows what she likes. What she likes includes dogs, feather sticks, wand toys and crackly things. She must have meowed for joy when supermarkets went green and switched to paper bags! Her world has really changed recently. Her person moved away and a friend took her in. Unfortunately, the resident cat was stressed by the arrival of a new cat, so it was in everyone's best interest to bring Phyllis here to begin a new chapter in her life. She's looking for a co-author. Maybe it's you! Ready to Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm.
