About Kelly

Meet Kelly! This spirited little lady is here to show the world that tripod kitties have endless fun! The staff affectionately call her their wildchild, and true to her name, she doesn’t let having three legs slow her down. Kelly might be small, at only 5 pounds, but she’s a bundle of energy, climbing cat trees and bouncing around like a pro. When she first arrived at the shelter, she was in pain from a mangled leg, but after surgery and a bit of recovery, she's back to her adventurous self. Kelly loves to play hard, but she also adores cuddling and rolling around for some scratches. She has met other cats and may act tough at first, but she quickly shows her softer side once she knows they just want to be friends. Kelly is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. All she needs now is a loving family to remind her how special she truly is. Think you could be the one?
