Angel, a Domestic Medium Hair, is a 3 year old spayed tortoiseshell. She has a round head that tapers into a modified wedge, green eyes, and an orange and gray coat. New to the shelter, Angel is comfortable watching visitors from the security of her ledge. Her previous owner tells us that Angel is good with kids, dogs, and other cats.
Angel is ready to start a new chapter in her life at the Venango County Humane Society in Seneca. The shelter is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. We make it easy for you to do the right thing! All animals adopted from our shelter are already spayed or neutered, which the law requires you to have done upon adoption.
