Meet Adele!
This sweet one-year old girl loves to sing, usually in the evening when she’s looking for your time and attention. Besides singing, she has lots of other talents, too! Sunbathing, napping, and soaking in the belly rubs and head scritches are just a few of her other hobbies. Adele also gets along great with other cats.
Visit Cats Cradle Animal Rescue for more information and to see if adoption would be a good fit for you!
