About Shirley

Shirley found her way to Four Hearts Animal Rescue after being abandoned and left to fend for herself. While on the run, she gave birth to a litter of identical kittens. Tragically, she suffered an injury to her front leg, caused by a break that healed improperly, but it doesn’t affect her daily life. According to the vet, her leg poses no issues. Curious and playful, Shirley gets along with every kitty she meets and is known as the sweetest girl by her foster family. They believe she will thrive in a quiet home where she can enjoy the comforts she deserves. Having been a fantastic mother, she truly devoted herself to her kittens, sacrificing so much despite her own struggles. Now, it’s time for Shirley to receive the love and care she longs for.
