PAWS Animal Shelter (cat)
Bayda is a beautiful 2-year-old female black and white domestic medium-hair cat. She came to the shelter with her two babies in June and they have since been adopted. Now it’s Bayda’s turn. She’s in our Teen Room and would much rather be in a home with not so many other cats. Bayda is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed.
