About Shay

Shay is a remarkable kitten who was discovered in a lumber yard in Redding, malnourished and dehydrated. Thankfully, some kind individuals took her in, nursed her back to health, and now she's ready for a loving home. She's a little chatterbox, enjoys cuddling, and has a playful nature. Shay is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, wormed, and microchipped. Her unique meow suggests she might have some Bengal heritage in her, though it's important to do your research if you're considering adopting her. Just because she resembles a Bengal, it doesn’t confirm her breed, but it’s good to be prepared for any dietary or health considerations. Shay is looking for a warm, caring family to give her the love she deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
