About Myrtle

Meet Myrtle, a charming little lady who’s about 3 months old. She arrived from an overcrowded shelter and is discovering the joy of personal space. Unlike her ghostly namesake, she’s playful yet enjoys her quiet moments, often seeking refuge in high spots to observe her surroundings. Myrtle adores playing and wrestling with her siblings, Casper and Marley, so having one of them around would help her feel more comfortable in a new home. While Myrtle is affectionate, she appreciates choosing her moment for cuddles, often purring when she feels at ease. A calm environment would suit her best, especially one without small children or dogs. Myrtle has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, and she’s ready to bring some joy to her forever family. Don't miss the chance to adopt this sweet girl (and maybe a sibling too)!
