SAFE 7/24/17 A volunteer writes: When this quiet tuxy came to the Care Center, she seemed timid, our intake staff noted. When I met her several days later in the cat adoption room, she had shed her shyness and came right out to greet me with warm, curious eyes and a very gentle disposition. We spent several minutes exchanging sniffs and pettings, and lovely Rexy was in heaven the whole time. Rexy comes to us from a home, and her previous owner described her as alert and mellow. She lived with a cat and two dogs, and her former person said Rexy got on well with them all. Rexy appears to enjoy being talked to. How about meeting her and telling her the magic words: “you’re coming home with me!”
NEW PHOTO! 9 year old REXY was dumped by her owner and needs a new home- she has a few dental issues which will require follow up care but is otherwise healthy.
