MSPCA-Nevins Farm Pet of the Week: Melrose

Melrose is the perfect "snuggly" cat for anyone looking for a relaxed and highly social feline friend. This two year old cat is petite at a mere eight pounds--but cannot get enough of head-butting and "kitty paddy cake." She was found as a stray but the MSPCA is convinced she must have had a home because she's so friendly and social toward everyone that she meets. That said, the agency feels she should be an "only pet" as she doesn't seem as interested in cats and dogs as she is to humans!

She'd make an excellent pet for a family, couple or single pet owner.
