Make your life a little sweeter with Watermelon.
Get to know our Watermelon and you’ll see she is as sweet and refreshing as her name. And at just under 2 years old, she is looking forward to putting down roots and blossoming in a new home. She has been through a lot in her young life. She was living outside the shelter with her 3 kittens (you may remember Scooby, Spamford, and Frannie from our website recently). The kittens have all been adopted, but Watermelon is still waiting. Living on her own has made her shy at first, but after she gets to know you she is a love. She is FIV+, which means she will either have to be an only cat or live in a home with other FIV+ cats. And she will need to be an indoor cat.

Watermelon has been with us since September, just getting sweeter while she waits for the perfect person to “pick” her. You can visit her during our open hours or by appointment on other days. Fill out our application at www.responsiblepetcare.org/cats to get pre-approved.
