Emily Animal ID: 134610 Domestic Short Hair Age: 5yr 10mths Female Torbie & White Hello, I’m Emily. I’m a bit shy, but once you get to know me, you’ll find I’m fiercely loyal. My independence might make you think I’m aloof, but I promise, I’m just selective about who I show my affection to. I’m not one for constant attention, but I’ll always be there when you need a friend. I enjoy quiet evenings, lounging around, and the occasional playtime. I may take a little time to warm up, but once I do, our bond will be unbreakable. Adopt me and you’ll have a loyal companion who will cherish our quiet moments together.
