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.
