Pet of the Week: Ashley is all About Love

If your family is looking for a young and affectionate cat, take a gander at Ashley.

Ashley is easy to please and loves chin scratches. She's happiest when someone is petting her, but isn’t pushy about getting attention.

Ashley is a young gal, about 2 years old. Though she is still youthful, she doesn’t care much for playtime. She would rather spend time hanging out next to a human companion. Shelter staffers said that Ashley will likely be a lap cat.

For her age, Ashley is very laid-back. Staffers said that she has a calm and kind personality.

Ashley is a uniquely colored cat with a beautiful coat. While she is considered a brown tabby, she has a very thick, black streak down her back. She has a fluffy tail, green eyes and a mix of black and white whiskers.

Though Ashley enjoys human companionship, she isn’t very friendly with other cats. Staffers recommend a home without other felines. She hasn’t spent much time around dogs, so shelter staffers are unsure how she feels about them.

Ashley is housebroken, up to date on her shots and fixed.
