Echo
Echo
Age: 3 years 9 months

Cichlid
Cichlid
Age: 1½ years
Story: This beautiful girl came to us with her mum and siblings, and was adopted straight away! Unfortunately, she came back to us due to a family emergency and no fault of Cichlid’s. She is a sweet, curious girl, who loves ear scritchies and treats. She is also a calico, and so occasionally shows some of that famous (infamous?) torti-tude. We think she deserves a second chance, and is just waiting for her forever family to pop in and meet her.
