Featured Pet - Isabella

This week's featured pet is Isabella.

Isabella was found outside a local vet when they opened in the morning. She's a sweet, loving, affectionate, and of course playful little girl with her foster buddies. She enjoys belly rubs and her purr motor starts to run when you pet her. Isabella have been tested already and is negative for FIV/FeLV and heartworm. She is current on all of her vaccinations and has been spayed and microchipped. Her approximate DOB is 7/19/11. Isabella enjoys eating both dry kitten food and canned kitten food. Would you be interested in providing a forever home for Isabella? If so, please contact Doren at 630-529-9138.

Visit Isabella's page now for more information to see if you could be her forever home!
