TURNIP Domestic Short Hair & Tabby Mix Panora, IA

AGE: 1 year

DESCRIPTION: DSH - Chocolate Tabby & White

LOCATION: PETS Shelter (114 W Main Street) - Panora, IA

MY STORY:
We were contacted by a lady that had an unaltered cat that had had 5 kittens wanting to know if we could help. We agreed to take the family to prevent the same thing from happening again, unfortunately she only brought 3 of the kittens (and we do not know what happened to the to the other 2 kittens and the unspayed mama) . Fortunately, the three kittens were very healthy, socialized, and will have nice indoor homes and will not be able to reproduce and add to the overpopulation problem.

Turnip and his brothers were just as cute and fun as can be - they played together, they wrestled each other, they napped in a pile. Both brothers have been adopted, leaving Turnip at the shelter by himself while he waits for his family to find him. He currently is in one of our front picture windows and watches the world go by on Main Street always hoping the next person that walks by will fall in love and adopt him. This little veggie gets along great with other kitties and loves batting at the kitty wand and chasing the laser light during playtime. He's energetic and fun but not destructive or rambunctious. We have no idea of why he has been waiting for so long and whoever adopts him is going to feel like they hit the jackpot! He has a bit of a sensitive tummy but has done well with a non-prescription sensitive stomach food. Turnip has the cutest of tabby coats that is accented purrfectly with white!
