Panda is a bit reserved at first, but she is super sweet and cuddly once she is comfortable with you and her new environment. She loves to play and run around since she has lots of kitten energy! When she’s not running around playing she’s curled up for an afternoon nap. Panda would be a wonderful addition to any family looking to welcome a new forever friend into their home. Visit Panda at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
