SAFE 7/2/15 – A staff member writes: “At first glance Guiness may look like a character out of a Batman movie, but she is as welcoming as a beer on a hot summer day. The minute I caught her eye she came up to the front of her condo for love and attention, and was soon on her side purring. Her previous owner stated that she is very outgoing and friendly with children, dogs and other cats. If you’re looking for companionship, come in and meet this sweet girl.”
