Pet of the Week - Vixian

This week's pet is a gorgeous, one and a half year old, white and Orange Domestic Shorthair by the name of Vixian. Vixian is very sweet and easy going. She has a mothering instinct that shines when she's around kittens and she loves to play with the babies. Vixian is fully vaccinated, litter box trained and would do great in any home.
