***SAFE 10/15/17*** BEGINNER SWEETIE MIMA NEEDS A HOME AND SOME FOLLOW UP CARE!! **WATCH HER VIDEO** Mima is about 6 yrs old. She was found in a yard and brought to the shelter. She seems to have some ulcers on her tongue and was drooling. She needs follow up medical care and bloodwork to determine what is going on with her. She is a quiet kitty . A volunteer writes: “Little Mima is a lively petite gal who likes to hop from one kennel to another, playing hide and seek with me. Just be careful…She will flee.. and like the Ginger Bread Man, she will say… You can’t catch me… Mima was not well when she came in but she was attended promptly by our veterinary staff and looks much better, active and all ready for socialization. Indeed, she is one friendly character who loves petting, scratching under the neck and I bet would not say no to a stop on my lap…I so would like to see Mima in a home, well cared for and loved.. She is a pretty girl , all matted in a grey dress and with chocolate ears, lovely free kitty eyes and a round face…I find her delicious but mostly sweet .. Mima needs your love and care. ” MUST RESERVE MIMA BY NOON!!!
