NEWEST UPDATE: Jack and Kitty Kitty are settled into their wonderful new home together. Thank you to all who helped spread the word about these two, they are truly thankful!

UPDATE: Jack and Kitty Kitty have a potential adopter!

Due to an unfortunate circumstance that happened with one of our clients, and no fault of the kitties, these 2 kitties are currently in foster care and in need of a new home for the holidays.

Meet Jack, a 1 year old neutered male and Kitty Kitty, a 2 and a half year old spayed female, both felv/FIV negative and and up to date on vaccines. They are good with other cats and dogs. They can go to a home together or separately.

Any interest, please contact us at [email protected]

Thank you so much for your consideration and help getting these 2 a home for the holidays! We have a fantastic bunch of clients.
