This week’s cat of the week is the adorable little girl, Sharon. Sharon is a 3 month old kitten who has been with the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society since the beginning of August, meaning she has spent nearly the entirety of her life without a family to call her own. She was surrendered on Aug. 5 and has been waiting for someone to come take her home since then. Sharon is an incredibly sweet and loving baby. She is the kind of cat that makes herself known, often by pacing at the front of her kennel and mowing to get people’s attention. Once you start petting Sharon, don’t expect to stop anytime soon. She loves to cuddle and will often rub her little face against yours to show her love. Sharon loves attention and once you give it to her, she is as happy as can be. She is not a nervous cat at all, she loves to explore and is incredibly playful. Sharon is a perfect little baby, all she needs now is a family to come bring her home.
