SAFE 8/30/16 A staff member writes: Poor little Ester’s world got turned upside-down when her owner recently passed away. When she first came to us he was very nervous, but as soon as she had a few days to settle in her true personality began to shine through. Ernest is a sweet young cat, only nine months old, who will sniff your hand and lean right in for pets. We know that she will make a wonderful companion to someone who will give this beautiful young girl a little bit of time to get used to her new home. After that her lucky new owner will absolutely have a friend for life!
A volunteer writes: Ester is a sweet-tempered and loving cat. As anyone approaches her cage, Ester immediately comes to the front purring and meowing, and pulls you in with those mesmerizing kitty eyes. She loves being petted and being scratched behind her ears. She loves to playfully twirl, as well as headbutt, and will lovingly reach out to touch her companion. Ester would make a great member to any family, where she would constantly give her unconditional love.
