Meet Penny, a very lively, playful, and affectionate senior kitty.

She is a very young acting and healthy 16-year-old dilute calico girl who loves her toys, and she seeks attention from visitors by giving hugs and holding onto their hands. She is not a fan of other cats, so would do best in a home where she is the only kitty. As far as we know, she has no health issues except that she snores — very quietly and demurely! She also has extra toes and very cute feet that look like little baseball mitts!

Penny would make a wonderful, affectionate, companion for someone seeking a loyal, quiet best friend. Penny has been in the shelter since July, and has sadly watched other cats find their homes while she has lingered.

As Pet of the Week, Penny’s adoption fee has been sponsored by a caring volunteer to help her get a home. If you can give this sweet girl a home, fill out an application on our website beachpets.com. submit it to us electronically, and come and meet Penny!
