It’s Furry Friends Friday, sponsored by The Mason Jar Cafe, featuring “China” from Animal Aid of Southwestern Michigan! China is a five month old female kitten. She has a beautiful black coat with a touch of white on her chest and huge golden eyes. China loves canned food and is very conversational at meal time. She has a loud purr, likes the company of other cats, and is cautious with dogs but would adjust to a special friend. China came to us with a very large hernia, which has healed nicely. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Please contact Animal Aid of SW Michigan at 269-934-7729 or [email protected] to learn more about our lovely young China.
