Pearl came in as a stray, around a year to a year and a half old, and quickly became the resident lap-seeker. She’s spayed, cleaned up, and her ear mites are now a thing of the past. Pearl is happiest curled up on your lap or following close on your heels from room to room, always wanting to stay close. She’s not interested in sharing her home with other pets. Even in an adoptive home with a famously friendly cat and dog, Pearl insisted on being the only animal in the spotlight. While the previous adopters loved her and sadly returned her only because of her temperament with their pets, they’ve sponsored part of her adoption fee so she’s available for $40. Pearl is pure sweetness with people and is ready for a home where she’ll be the center of attention. She does well with children but needs to be your only pet. Born May 8, she’s a Taurus—expect an independent spirit and plenty of determination. Your new best friend is just one click away.
