I’m Sheba, and I’m ready to find my forever classroom! 📚

I may be a quiet student, but I’m an excellent listener! I like to take my time, observe from a comfortable spot, and get to know things at my own pace. My favorite subjects include making kitty friends, playing with toys, and—of course—snack time! 🍪

I’m P***y, and I’m ready for a new adventure! I’m hoping my next big lesson is learning what it means to be home. 🎒

I may be a little shy at first, but I love sunny spots, porch time, and watching the world go by. Give me a little patience, and I’ll show you my playful side as I explore, bat toys around, and become the sweet, confident boy I know I can be! ☀️
