Story
These two cats belonged to an elderly lady who has been placed in a memory care unit. The black-and-white one Jimmy takes just a little getting used to. He’s a little anxious until he gets to know you. Alvin, the orange tabby is afraid of newcomers, but loves nothing more than to sit and get petted all day. They’re both good cats. Just need a new home to the owners decline in Health.

Patches, is 9 months old. He is very playful and loves playing with anything he can bat around with his little paws. He is energetic but loves his naps, especially when the sun is shining through the windows. He was born March 22, 2025. He loves to snuggle. He is well loved but my 88 yr old mother is having trouble with her feet and having a hard time keeping up.
