Sara Lee

Gentle and calm — those two words best describe our Cat of the Week, Sara Lee.  She is a 10-month-old, female, black and white bi-color. Her beauty shows in her huge golden eyes and her soft, silky coat. Sara-Lee loves to be held and cuddled and she purrs with delight to show her appreciation. This girl is an adorable, loving and affectionate feline and she will give back years of joyful companionship to her forever family. Come on, take home some sweetness — take home a little Sara-Lee.

She is available through Saturday at the shelter.
