Are you looking for a perfect cat in your basket this Easter? Then I am the perfect cat for you. I am a domestic short-hair, spayed female, and wear tag No. 593. I was found on Yelm Highway on March 2, 2002. My two ears are orange, my fur is soft and cuddly, my tail is orange with white stripes, my eyes are golden yellow, my four paws are very playful, and my body is big and cuddly.

When Devin and Grant peered through the cages, I played with Grant's jacket. I was anxious to get out of my cage. When they took me out, at first I was shy, but then I became as playful as a rabbit. I rolled on my back, acted like a hunter, and snatched the furry toy the boys shook in front of me. I am anxious to find a playful owner that I will jump for joy if you come for me. If you are looking for a domestic, short-hair, spayed, female cat wearing tag No. 593, I am the perfect cat for you and your Easter basket.
