Pet Of The Week – Roxie

Please meet Roxie! Roxie is an absolutely gorgeous kitty who came to Green Hills Animal shelter in March.  Roxie is only about 2-years old, and before she came to the shelter, she had a home of her own where she was very loved. Sadly, when her owner experienced an unexpected change in their life, they were unable to keep Roxie and she was relinquished to the shelter along with another fur-friend that had shared her home.

When Roxie first arrived at the shelter she was very nervous in her new surroundings, but who could blame her? Can you imagine how hard it would be to be taken from the only home you ever knew and suddenly find yourself in a new place filled with unfamiliar noises and strange smells and surrounded by people you didn’t know?  Fortunately, Roxie has slowly come out of her shell, and as she has become more comfortable at the shelter, she shows us every day what a special girl she is.

If we could choose 3 words to describe Roxie, those words would be beautiful, unique and sweet! Beautiful because of her gorgeous white fur coat, unique because Roxie has one blue eye and one green eye, and sweet because Roxie is just about the sweetest girl you could ever hope to meet. She is always happy to be petted and will make a wonderfully sweet companion animal. Roxie gets along well with other cats and previously shared her home with a beautiful house panther named Violet who is also at the shelter, and who she would love to be adopted with if possible.

If Roxie could describe her purr-fect forever home, she would ask for an indoor only home with a family who will be patient while she becomes comfortable in her new environment and who will, of course, love her forever. She would enjoy a home where she would receive lots of pets and love, and where she could curl up on her Forever Human’s lap and bask in the joy of being loved.

Roxie will go to her Forever Home spayed, dewormed, FIV/FeLV tested, and up to date on all vaccinations, including rabies.  She would like nothing more than to be back in a home where she is loved; could you share your home with her?

For more information on Roxie or any of the pets waiting for their forever homes at Green Hills Animal Shelter, please phone the shelter at 660-359-2700 or stop by during open business hours. We will be looking forward to meeting you!
