About Sprite

Sprite spent years living as a neighborhood kitty, being fed from a distance but never trusting anyone enough to be touched. Everything changed when she became a mama. After giving birth to six wonderful babies, Sprite finally let her guard down and allowed herself to be rescued from the streets. For the first time, she experienced being held, and it was as if she knew she was safe. Though still a bit timid with new people, once Sprite warms up to you, her personality truly shines. She’ll chat your ear off, beg for pets, purr loudly enough for everyone to hear, and make impressive biscuits. Beneath her cautious exterior lies a deeply affectionate girl who craves safety and love. Sprite will thrive in a calm home where someone is willing to give her the time needed to adjust. Once you earn her trust, she’ll be a devoted companion. After so many years of survival and dedicating herself to raising her babies, it’s Sprite’s turn to find a forever home where she can relax and be cherished. The adoption fee is $65 and includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, FIV/FeLV testing, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, microchipping, and deworming.
