Apogee is a really cool 1 year old kitty now that she has learned people can be trusted. Foster Mom has been able to hold her and love on her for 3 months now. She's playful, independent, very curious and helpful. Did I mention beautiful? Like all our kitties, she's spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. She is INDOOR ONLY, just like all the other AAR cats. She has always been with other cats/kittens and would do best being with other/another cat. Adoption fee is $100 + tax. For more information on how to meet Apogee or how to adopt, call Dale at 218-877-7050.
