BastBast

Bast is the Greek cat goddess and the kitty for adoption lives up to her name. Her long fur is glossy, silky and beautiful and her white whiskers stand out against it. She strolls around with a regal air about her, but will play when the mood strikes her. She can hold her own with other cats and dogs and loves to rub up on people. She would make a great companion and any cat lover proud. Bast is spayed, house trained and current on vaccinations.
