Nonnegotiables: No young children. No dogs. Must have prior experience with Persians

Her previous mommy said she had litter box issues due to stress, since she arrived to our rescue she’s been eating Purina sensitive cat food and we are pleased to say she’s had no issues!
We ask all adopters have a plan in the event you can no longer care for this cat.
