Sapphire is very affectionate and has striking markings for a tortie-calico, but a purrsonality to match. Sapphire is approximately three and a half years old, has been spayed, is up to date on her vaccinations including rabies, and is looking for her forever home. Sapphire gets along well with other cats, has a docile demeanor, and loves curling up in the sun in our lovely catio. Should you adopt Sapphire, you will need to ensure she has a comfy pillow or blanket situated close to a window so she can gaze out and bask in the warmth of the sun.
