I rescued a kitten last week. I need to find her a permanent home before I become hopelessly attached. As my lease only allows for two cats.

Princess Chub Chub is approximately 12 weeks old, she is socializing very well with my other cats and is very playful and loving. She decided to sit on my chest as I was taking a bath the other day.

The vet has given her a clean bill of health physically, we opted to wait to do blood tests, and she is too small still to be spayed.
