Meet our new adoptable, Bagpipe!

Age: Adult, 1-3

Bagpipe is a sweet girl, aptly named after an instrument that squeaks each time you touch it! With bright eyes and a clipped ear, this lovely little one warms right up with a few ear scratches. Bagpipe has a complicated relationship with grooming (she doesn’t much!), so she will need a loving and attentive home to brush her everyday. Come meet this pretty kitty!
