Baby’s name is a little joke because she’s no little kitten – she’s an adult, and a bit on the large size.

But she is a very friendly cat who is happy being picked up as well as being left alone to explore. Baby is quite affectionate, with a sweet purr, and she would very much like to go home soon.

Baby 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.
