Meet Emerald, a three-year-old grey and white domestic shorthair who found herself at the shelter after her family lost their home to the tornadoes at Indian Lake in 2024. Emerald has had a tough time adjusting, so she approaches new people and situations with some hesitation. Give her a chance, though, and she’ll show you her big personality. She’s on a weight loss journey and is eager for an adopter who will keep her active and help her reach her goals. Vocal and never shy about demanding attention (or treats, which got her into this weight situation), Emerald makes her preferences clear. She requires ongoing allergy medications but gets along well with other cats and with children who respect her boundaries. With patience and understanding, Emerald will make a devoted companion who will fill your home with conversation and warmth. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
