This weeks cat of the week is none other than Bubbles, female tuxedo who has been at the humane society since the beginning of July. Bubbles is a gorgeous cat with adorable markings along her face and bright green eyes. She is very loving, but is slightly shy when you first meet her. Regardless of this though, she is very sweet and playful once she comes out of her shell. She seems to enjoy sitting on a perch and was enthralled by what was going on outside the window. Bubbles has a very curious personality and loves to play. From squeaky toys to wand toys that have strings attached, she seems to enjoy them all. She is just over a year old and has now spent several months at the humane society without a family. She would be a perfect cat for really any home, all she needs is a family.
