Adopt a friend: Rita
RITA — DOMESTIC SHORTHAIR BROWN TABBY
Age: 1 year.
Story: Rita was found when she was about 9 or 10 months old wondering the streets in Rancho Sahuarita and very pregnant. She went to live with her foster family while waiting to give birth. Being as tiny as she was because she was still a kitten herself, we thought she would have two babies. We were surprised when Rita gave birth to 6 beautiful kittens in April. She loved, nursed and cuddled her babies until they were old enough to be on their own. Rita was adopted by a lovely lady who was longing to have a kitty to love since she had lost her kitty months earlier. Having lived with her new Mom for several months she unexpectedly had to move into independent care. Rita is back at Paws Patrol living with her foster Mom again and looking for a forever home. Rita loves playing with her interactive ball rings, enjoys rubs, belly scratches and hugs. She really needs human championship and would like someone who is home most of the time. It will take her a little while to adjust to another kitty, but she would do fine with a male cat in the home. Adoption qualifications required.
Fee: $40, includes microchip, neutering and current shots.
