ZeZe

Age: 1 year

Story: ZeZe was found living outside and was being fed by a very nice person. Paws Patrol trapped ZeZe the next day, and thankfully — ZeZe gave birth to kittens the next day.

Now that the kittens are growing up, ZeZe will need another nice human who will rub under her chin and scratch behind her ears. All she needs is love and a little time. Adoption qualifications required.
