Plenty of Pets

Zelda is a young, spayed cat who needs a quiet home.

She is shy, but once she knows a person is okay she likes to have them pet her, She doesn’t like to be held for long, but will paw at people to encourage them to keep petting her.

She is okay around calm dogs. She needs a home where there are no small children.

To find out more about Zelda, visit Wayward Cats on Facebook, email [email protected] or call 902-957-8677.
