JUNIPER's Story

My name is Juniper and I am a black domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 4 years and 6 months old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 03/17/2026. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door. I can be good with men, women, and children. I can be good with other cats and I can be good with dogs.
