Tardis is a 1.5-year-old female who is friendly with other cats and small dogs. She seems to be nervous about big dogs, though. Tardis is very playful and sweet, but she does play a little roughly, so small children are not recommended for this energetic girl. Tardis is vaccinated, spayed, tested and ready to find her forever home. The Animal House is located at 15 Coastal Marketplace in Damariscotta. Tardis is available through a partnership with the Lincoln County Animal Shelter. For more information, please stop by The Animal House or LCAS.
