Meet Artemis - a young cat looking for her purrrfect home. Artemis came into the shelter with 11 other cats, 2 of which were her kittens believe it or not. Now that her kittens are old enough to be away from mom, Artemis is looking to finally live out the kittenhood she missed out on. She's definitely little miss independent and would prefer that you let her come to you on her terms. In return she'll reward you with lots of purrs, head butts, and slow blinks. This girl is full of personality, sass, affection, and spunk. If you think she'd be a good fit for your home, please fill out an application.
