Cersei, calico
Cersei is a female calico cat being cared for at Mission for Paws.
Cersei needs special time to bond with you: She'll need a home free of other cats and dogs. She does do well with kids. She is spayed, and she has all her shots. No need to worry: She's already house-trained.
Cersei's current caretakers say:
This sweet girl and her kittens were rescued at a rest stop along the freeway by a nice family. She is very affectionate and loving to her humans but is a bit of a queen bee and prefers to be an only pet. She is currently fostered in a home with older children. We are hoping someone will offer her a loving home so that she knows that not all humans will leave her abandoned. She has the most beautiful classic Calico markings. Must see in person.
