Updated -6-23-2026
Zuzu is an almost 2 year old female and not only was she the only one of her kitten litter that didn't get picked, but she is now the only one left in her free roaming room after two years that hasn't been picked. We are over the top happy for her roommates, but hopeful she will be next. She is a petite tweed tabby. She likes being petted and likes being around, but isn't really a fan of being carried around. She can be a talker but isn't loud and squeaks when she meows. She will be the one greeting you when you come in. Zuzu gets along with other cats in her room and loves lounging at the top of her cat tree. She doesn't stress too much in new places and has gone to a few adoption events. She is ready to be your friend and companion. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. We are hoping Zuzu will finally meet her person and find her forever home.
