Mama Goose is a 1-year-old black cat who delivered seven kittens while at the Mission Viejo Animal Service Center. Her babies have all been adopted except for this sweet cat.
Mama Goose is still much like a kitten herself. She is playful, energetic and enjoys chasing ping-pong balls around the play room. She is independent and very curious. She likes interacting with people but is also content on her own. She is a smart and vocal cat with expressive eyes.
