Adoptable Pets

Body
This week’s cat of the week is the pretty lady you see here, Bay. Bay is a 6 month old Calico who came into the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society as a kitten in July of last year. Despite the fact that she is beautiful, it is her personality that really draws people in. Bay is incredibly sweet and loving. Her all time favorite thing is to be snuggled up with her person. She is an extremely cuddly little girl, she loves to be pet and would make an excellent lap cat. Bay also loves treats and playing with her friends. Currently, Bay is being held in the large cat play room with three other cats and she has a great time chasing and watching them wrestle. She is sweet, playful, and very loving. Bay would make an excellent addition to any family, the only thing she is waiting for now is for that family to bring her home.
