About Plum

Meet Plum, a tiny but mighty little one! This baby girl is so much smaller than her siblings, yet she doesn't let that stop her. Sweet and friendly, Plum loves to play and wrestle with her brothers. You'd be amazed to see her out-jump them while chasing feathers. Toys are her passion; she joyfully carries around a plushy that’s half her size. But Plum isn’t all play; she has a soft, loving side too. She enjoys being petted and often lays beside her person. Her previous foster affectionately called her 'Google'—just look into those adorable eyes! Plum has a charming little bend at the end of her tail, and she loves belly rubs and pets all over her little head. A cozy bed and a sunny window spot make her day. Plum is spayed and fully vaccinated. She's currently at our Heartland Facility in Wheeling, IL. You can meet her during open hours: Thursday to Sunday. Come say hello; she’s ready for a playmate!
