About Surprise

Surprise is a sweet, gentle cat who was brought to the vet along with her kittens after an overwhelmed neighbor sought help. While four of her kittens have found homes, she and two of her remaining kittens still await their forever families. Each day, they play, eat, and grow more comfortable with human interaction. Though still a bit on the shy side, when Surprise trusts you, her cuddly side shines. She’s not one for fierce hunting but excels at purring when given affection and a few gentle scritches. This affectionate cat has a special way of connecting with people, and her favorite treat, churu, is the key to winning her heart. Surprise is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready for a loving home. If you're interested in making her part of your family, please complete an adoption application.
