Gigi is a pretty and friendly 4-year-old orange cat who ended up at the shelter because her owner became allergic to her.

Gigi is a great mouser, but she still enjoys sitting on laps and being petted.

Gigi is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.
