Anya is a 1-2 year old long hair tortie. She is shy at first, but loves to be petted and quickly warms up. She hasn't been with us long, but has already found a place in our hearts. She will tolerate other cats, but prefers to do her own thing. She does not like dogs, although as long as they aren't in her face she will tolerate them as well.
Please give The Alger County Animal Shelter a call at
906-387-4131 if you would like to know more about adopting Anya.
