Meet Enya!
Looking for a sweet, quiet, 3-year old girl who will be your best companion? Enya’s it!
Enya warms up quickly, but can definitely be a bit of a wimp (e.g., vacuum, coffee grinder). Despite this, she is curious about new people and loves to investigate. She isn’t interested in conventional toys, but stray hair ties and fake plants are more up her alley! She also loves sleeping upside down, rolling around when her owner comes home, and window gazing at all the world has to offer (+ insisting my bowl is empty!).
Visit Cats Cradle Animal Rescue for more information on Enya and to see if adoption would be a good fit for you!
