SAFE 4/8/16 A volunteer writes: Diva could not have a more fitting name! This senior gal certainly does not look nor act her age. First of all, her magnificent black coat and big fluffy tail immediately captures your attention. She is ultra-friendly, has a melodic purr, and this girl just loves to have fun. She’s as playful as can be, and she will wear you out! If you are looking for a new BFF, Diva could be the one!
Diva came to us because her owner developed allergies. She is a sweet girl however, does not enjoy medical handling and a bit stressed in the shelter environment. She lived with other cats in the past and 2 small dogs. We are not sure what happened to her ears but were possibly cut in the past or ear tipped on both ears.
