Pet of the Week: Lavender

When Lavender first arrived at she was a very frightened kitty, but who can blame her? Coming to a shelter from the confines of a comfy home is never easy. Her owners were moving and unable to take this attractive tabby along.

At first Lavender pretty much kept to herself. However, lately she has gotten in touch with her ‘inner kitten’ thanks to the coaching and confidence-building of one of the volunteers.

When Lavender gets the opportunity to stretch her legs and let loose in the communal playroom, she has shown how she can be the life of the party. This 2-year-old is looking for a quieter home with an owner who will enjoy her playfulness.

Lavender is often affectionate and other times she just likes to do her own thing. She would be an easy cat to care for and may be a good companion for another cat-friendly cat.

Homeward Pet relies on a large network of generous volunteers to help over 1,300 homeless kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs every year. If you are interested in joining this group, visit www.homewardpet.org/volunteer for more information.
