About Sweet Potato

Sweet Potato is as delightful as her name suggests. Friendly and talkative, she enjoys engaging with humans and will happily chat back if you strike up a conversation. She has shown to be good with a respectful small dog and has even interacted well with a five-year-old. While she may take a little time to warm up to new faces, she loves to bask in sunshine and appreciates gentle belly rubs, often rolling over to get some. Her pastimes include playing with feathers, pom poms, and scratching pads. Sweet Potato allows for brushing and enjoys the attention. Due to her FIV+ status, any feline companions should be friendly and healthy. Slow introductions can help form lasting friendships. Currently at the Michiana Humane Society, Sweet Potato would love to meet her potential forever family. Ready to make her part of your home?
