On the bright side, she is confident and playful with children, dogs, and kittens, showing her friendly and loving side when she feels comfortable. With her playful spirit, Daphne enjoys her toys and would absolutely love a cat tower to call her own. She is a wonderful girl yearning to be an integrated, cherished member of a family. Daphne is spayed, has up-to-date vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, so she's fully ready to move into her forever home. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
