🐾 Meet Quiche —
The Shy Guy With a Heart of Gold

Once a tiny kitten fending for himself, Quiche’s journey took a turn when a kind-hearted rescuer stepped in. Now 2 years old, this sleek black cat is sweet, house-trained, and fully vaccinated. Though shy at first, he blossoms into a cuddly, playful companion once he feels at home.

If your heart and home have room for a furry friend, Quiche is waiting to fill it with love (and purrs).

🖤 Foster or adopt Quiche through Pioneers for Animal Welfare Society, Inc. (PAWS-LI).

Because every cat deserves a second chance.
