ZEN is the four year old sister of last week’s beauty Luna. A little bit shy at the moment given the trauma of living in an institution instead of a home, but very quickly she demonstrates that she is a loving, snuggle-thirsty cat, who will certainly brighten the home of the wonderful person who adopts her. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.
