Juanita
Juanita
came to Paws Whiskers & Claws in May of 2007, but we have known her
for years. She came to us after the new ownership of Cat clinic of
Roswell discontinued their adoption program. Juanita’s duties
include hospital security, greeting clients, keeping the floor under
the desk warm and testing beds, scratching posts and toys. You can be
sure all of our products are "Juanita Approved" prior to your
purchase. Her favorite hobbies are exercising with her catnip
pillow, playing with her Pawbreaker, eating and tanning in the
afternoon sun. Juanita's current project involves perfection of
the world's loudest purr. Once her purr perfected she plans on moving
on the loudest snore.
Despite how much we love Juanita and
value her as an employee, she is available for adoption. There are
only a few stipulations. You must be a really great cat parent,
provide a wonderful home and outstanding vet care. Oh, and you have
to bring her to visit us. |
