In the shelter’s words
Turnip is part of the litter of root veggies born to Jane Coldren in early September of 2025. Her brothers are near-clones of their mother, all fluffy and orange. Carrot was a spicy kitten who has become a wild young cat who will try to play with you HIS way. Parsnip is undergoing FIP treatment, but is turning out sweet, playful, and affectionate. Turnip and her sister Rutabaga are petite short-haired tabico twins with very different personalities. Although both girls are playful and athletic, as well as very social with other cats in their community room, Rutabaga is the social one with people. She loves attention and can be quite goofy. Turnip is more reserved and does not appreciate being handled. Her first instinct is always to run away, but if you find her in a comfortable spot, she will accept pets and enjoy them! She would be happiest in a multiple-cat household with more confident kitties to set an example. Turnip is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free-will donation to approved applicants. ****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org****
