Cutest

Name: Jazmine
Fun Fact: “Jazmine is about 3 years old. When she came into our lives, I fostered her through the non profit, Meow Village, in Oregon. She was pregnant and had 5 black and fluffy adorable babies. We decided to officially adopt Jazmine when all her babies were adopted. Due to her eyes not having any pigment, we keep the lights dimmed. She’s so beautiful to watch. When the lights are
dim, her eyes literally look like crystal balls. And the veins like a strobe. She isn’t deaf because she’s not considered a ‘white’ cat.”
