11/20/2015 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes, “Morgan immediatley caught my attention with her piercing gaze while walking through the halls one day. With a storied past, Morgan needs things to be taken slow in life, but once she gets used to her surroundings she wants to impress everyone around her. Her previous owner said she has never had an accident outside the litterbox, and loves being picked up and brushed. Morgan is a playful and confident cat but would do best in a home with experienced cat parents. She could also go to a home with kids as long as the kids were respectful of her boundaries. Morgan is an incredibly loyal cat too, she is just looking for someone who has room in their heart for an older cat. Come meet Morgan at ACC today and discover how great it is to have an older cat in your life!”
