PET OF THE WEEK

Body
Bonita came into the shelter in early September. Jennifer, the shelter manager, was driving back to the shelter on a busy road when she spotted a little kitten running across the road, one car ahead of her. The person in the car ahead stopped, and Bonita was able to be rescued. She was frightened at first, but quickly warmed up with love and cuddles. She is a calm and sweet kitten.
