Story
Meet FAITH- This tuxedo is a real purrrrrrrrrrsonality. From nose boops, to jumping on your shoulder/back for a ride, she is all boss and in charge! She survived a brutal case of abuse and neglect as a young cat and today you would never know it. Meet TRIPP - This fluffy, young, handsome boy is a fairly shy boy. TRIPP (and FAITH) will do best in a home with no tiny humans or dogs but possibly one other laid back young feline to help draw him out of his shell, like his best furrrrrriend, FAITH. Do you have a kitty looking for a calm playmate? Or, perhaps you might enjoy this fun loving duo who are yin/yang to one another and already get along like peas and carrots. They are ready to interview families and would LOVE to find a FOREVER home this month. WOW cats are fully vetted to age with a lifetime microchip.

Check out this sweet, special needs bonded pair! MARMALADE is a petite fella who was found all alone on the steps of a local bank - people went in and out for hours and he sat right there...watching and waiting...frozen in fear. He is looking for a calm home with his buddy COLONEL. 😻 COLONEL has a mild case of cellebellar hyperplasia as he is on the wobbly side. He came to us in need of a variety of assistance as a tiny thing and he even had FHO surgery on his hip. He has been learning to walk well again and is a fan favorite of the volunteers because he is the sweetest and most cuddly boy. ❤ He sure loves MARMALADE and together they take care of one another. IF you have a laid back, calm home on one story these boys may be just who you are looking for. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/edit/a.3248190108779294 WOW cats are fully vetted to age with a lifetime microchip.
