Sugar is warm like maple syrup melting into pancakes, rich as brown sugar, and full of soft, sweet purrs once she feels safe. This beautiful three-month-old brown tabby may start out a little reserved, but give her time and she reveals a gentle, tender heart that quietly stays with you. If you’ve got a sweet tooth and you’re the kind of person that lets love simmer low and slow, Sugar may be the perfect purrbaby for you! Email contact@espanolahumane.org if you’d like meet her.
