Aretha's Story

Meet Aretha, a 2-year-old tabby with an energetic, playful personality. Aretha loves to chase toys, rub up against legs for pets, and climb cat trees to survey her domain. She enjoys meeting new people, but can take time to acclimate to new spaces just like any cat. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a silly, active, and friendly companion, Aretha could be your perfect match. Come meet her at the Animal Protective League, 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We're open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
