Hey Cullman, meet Salem, Stevie, Sugar, and Spice! Salem and Stevie came to us this winter and Sugar and Spice arrived just this week! Salem is a 4-5 year old female who is talkative and LOVES to curl up on a comfy blanket! Stevie is a 7-8 years old male and is a special needs kitty- he is completely blind and would need an indoor only home. But his vision problems do not stop him from looking for his forever home! Sugar and Spice are two 4 month old females and are two kittens out of the same litter. They are slowly coming out of their shells and would be great to grow with your family! All cats have been spayed/neutered, tested negative for FIV/FelV, and have been updated on their vaccines. Please give us a call or drop by M-F 8 to 5 if you are interested in meeting our feline friends! Thank you!
