*Double Senior Adoption* Moxy and Principessa are an endearing brother/sister duo who arrived at the shelter after their dad fell upon hard times and could no longer care for them. They loved their dad so very much and are having a difficult time adjusting to shelter life. Their ability to love deeply is truly heartwarming, and our greatest wish is to find them a loving home where they can enjoy their golden years.
Moxy is a stunning nine-year-old domestic short-hair orange tabby. He exudes warmth and affection. Moxy would love nothing more than a chance to bring joy to a lucky family’s heart and home. A little patience and kindness will be rewarded with endless loyalty and companionship. He would do well in a quiet home with other cats and possibly calm dogs, but not children.
Principessa is a gorgeous nine-year-old domestic short-hair torti female. Her affectionate nature makes her the perfect companion, ready to share her love and warmth with a caring family. Expect a double dose of purring, lap naps, and snuggles while in the company of this sweet pair. Principessa would thrive in most home environments, including those with older kids, other cats, and possibly calm dogs.
*Double Adoption* Meet the fabulous mother-daughter duo, Goldie & Kate! These stunning tabbies are as beautiful as they are loving. Goldie, the mom, is around four years old with a white and rich brown coat, while her daughter Kate, under a year old, has a white and gray coat that gives her a uniquely exotic look.
Goldie is outgoing and affectionate, always ready to greet you with purrs and a request for ear scratches. Kate is a bit more reserved at first, watching her mom interact before joining in for love and attention. Their sweet bond is heartwarming to witness, and their companionship brings double the joy to any home. Goldie and Kate are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They would do well in a calm home, possibly with older children, other cats, or a gentle dog. Goldie is diabetic and will need a family prepared to manage her care. Both are FIV positive, which is not a major concern and doesn’t affect their ability to live happy, full lives.
If you are interested in meeting either dynamic duo, please fill out an application to schedule time to properly interact with the, in a domestic setting.
