About Cherry

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Cherry is ready to be best friends with every cat in your house! This sweet kitten, named for the street she was found on, will ensure that any cats you have at home are always entertained and snuggled with. Cherry also adores people—she loves getting petted, though she is easily startled by loud noises or sudden new faces and might scamper away (still purring!) if something unexpected happens during cuddle time. Cherry is a low-maintenance companion who would love to share your home with you, a cozy bed, a wand toy, and a peaceful, quiet environment. As a special note, with her birthday on October 16, Cherry is a Libra—a sign known for loving harmony and friendship, which suits her affectionate and social nature perfectly. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
