Little Bit wishes you a happy Friday the 13th! She Little Bit wishes you a happy Friday the 13th! She hopes if you come across a black cat today, that you give them the love they deserve! It’s good luck after all βœ¨πŸ–€πŸˆβ€β¬›

Meet Little Bit, a sweet, soulful girl with a big personality packed into her petite frame. She lives for wet food and won’t hesitate to stare straight into your soul until the can cracks open. Trust us, you’ll feel the pressure! πŸŸπŸ˜ΉπŸ—

If you’re looking for a baker, consider adopting Little Bit, because she absolutely loves making biscuits. πŸžπŸ’• Give her some gentle pets and she’ll reward you by kneading her little black paws with pure joy. One of her favorite pastimes is lounging in the catio, soaking up the sun and letting the warmth shine on her beautiful, glossy coat. πŸ’–

Little Bit qualifies for Abandoned Pet Rescue’s Medical Adoption Program, which means all of her veterinary care will be provided at Abandoned Pet Rescue for the rest of her life. ❣️

Little Bit is hoping for a loving home where she can be her charming self, nap in sunbeams, and knead bread to her heart’s content. To meet Little Bit please fill out an adoption application at abandonedpetrescue.org! 🩡🩷

Little Bit is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and ready for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue – a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 🌴🐾
