Skippy

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Adult

Yippee! Skippy! Are you looking for a handsome, affectionate, and soft feline companion? One that will cuddle in your lap and give you kisses, but can still cut a rug on occasion? Our wonderful Skippy is a white and orange tabby who is just over 12 years old. He is declawed, so will need to remain indoors - unless you have a safe outdoor venue he can sun himself in. Skippy is used to a quiet home with no children, so that is likely the kind of home he would prefer for his future - but hey, let's talk if you think he and your family will hit it off. Skippy is neutered and ready to go home with his new family today!

Chris

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix
Gender: Male
Age: Adult

Say hello to Chris, a true diamond in the rough. Don't let his size fool you, he truly is a gentle giant. Even though he does not seek out the companionship of other cats, he gets along well with others and can even be intimidated by them. He is an active boy that enjoys curling up on a nice warm bed in the sun. He does not like to be held but he will roll around and do summersaults for scratches as long as you are willing to scratch. He is FIV+ and will need to be an indoor cat and and will make a great companion. Chris would do best with older children or teenagers. He also would do fine with a calmer dog in the home that would respect his space. If you are looking for a cat that is both independent and social, look no farther, Chris is your cat.
