Tabitha
 
Meet Tabitha, a gentle, 5-year-old, torbie domestic shorthair mix, weighing in at a sturdy 11 pounds. The shelter has been a little scary for her  and she’s a bit shy with strangers, but a total love with her close friends and family. She is a certified lap warmer, and loves to sit with you while you scratch her head and chin. Tabitha is incredibly sweet, calm and playful at times. She doesn’t mind the other kitties in her condo, and can often be found sunbathing on her bed. In her previous home, she was overwhelmed by the bounding energy of dogs and small children, so she’d do best in a home without them. Tabitha has been spayed, microchipped, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. #151733
