Ready to Add a Cat to Your Family? Christine is Perfect For You!

Meet the prettiest calico you've ever seen--Christine!
This gorgeous kitty has lovely fur, little white mittens, and big, beautiful green eyes! She can be a bit shy at first when meeting new people, but with patience and time she warms up and will lean into your hand for pets. Christine would do best in a quiet routine home, with older respectful kids who can interact with her gently. If you're an introvert looking for a new best friend to chill out with at home--Christine is the girl for you!
