I’m a squishmallow of a cat who loves people and attention. So my name Little Girl came from when I was younger. I was slim, the pick of the litter so to speak. But then… age. You understand, right? Weight starts to creep in and you aren’t sure how to lose it. It really sometimes changes your metabolism. I’m now Medium Girl. But I adore every inch of my body. I have a sweet, gentle nature but I’m temperamental with other cats. As long as they give me space on my lounge (cat scratcher), I have no beef. I like to be scratched on my head, but you’ll know if this soul sister likes you because I roll on my back to let you see my rolls. I can be a lap cat once I get to know you and feel comfortable being around you. I’ll be a loving companion, especially for someone who needs company and a furry shoulder to lean on. Need a therapy cat? I’m a calm, non-judgemental listener! Please come in to visit me soon. When you tally up my good points, I’m a real winner! Contact the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays by calling (814) 677-4040.
