Bailey was born in Lubbock, Texas where she went to Texas Tech University with her human Amanda.  She was born August 15th 2001 and spent her younger years playing with anything and everything.  Her favorite game was attacking the pencil that Amanda was using to do Calculus homework.  Now that she has aged, and her crazy kitten days are behind her, she mostly enjoys laying around, sun bathing, and licking plastic bags.  Bailey loves to eat, but she is watching her figure with the help of the PTAH staff.  Long hair or short hair?  With Bailey that is the question.  You never know when she will be shaved.  Bailey has had the Official Greeter role at PTAH since 2013, and she truly enjoys her job and the people that she gets to meet.  She isn't as thrilled about meeting the other animals, but as long as they give her space, she doesn't mind.  Just a warning, Bailey loves purses and she may try to get into yours.  If you are ever in the lobby and Bailey isn't greeting you, feel free to ask for her and she will be happy to come say hello!
