Mia is a petite 1-year-old Siamese mix who was rescued after being abandoned as a kitten at a local store. Her littermate recently found his home so now Mia needs hers. She is quiet, but enjoys treats and brushing from visitors, and is hoping for a patient adopter. If interested, call (831) 634-1191 or visit PetFriends.org.
