Meet Paprika!

This sweet lady has had a rough start to her life, and is ready to waive goodbye to her life on the street and trade it for a warm and loving home with her forever family!

Paprika is very happy to give and receive cuddles, she loves treats and will occasionally have a zoom around with a toy!
