Monet is ready for her forever home! She is a low-key, gentle kitty. Monet enjoys spending her day looking out the window, observing the world around her. She is very affectionate and loves attention from her human friends. She tolerates her feline roommates and would do fine with a docile feline companion or as the only kitty. Monet does have kidney disease, and will need to be on a prescription diet, as well as regular medical treatment for the rest of her life. The good news is that she really likes her food!
Monet is part of our Perpet-U-Care program. Please
