About Melon

Melon, also known affectionately as Melonball, is a petite young female with a shy demeanor, but she's full of charm. She gets along well with both cats and dogs, making her a delightful addition to any pet-loving household. Often found in a pile of kittens, she loves to play with her littermates, particularly enjoying the warmth of freshly dried laundry. While Melon can be a bit reserved around humans initially, she warms up quickly when it’s time to relax, often seeking comfort in a cozy lap, especially when draped with a soft blanket. This lovely girl has a soothing purr that can instantly create a calming atmosphere. Unlike some cats that love to cuddle close to your face, Melon prefers her own space and stays primarily on the lap. This makes her an excellent choice for anyone who adores cats but prefers to avoid having tails in their face. Rest assured, Melon is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find her forever home. Melon will be available for adoption on September 22nd. Adoption fee is $100.00 plus tax, making a total of $107.50. Ready to make Melon a part of your family?
