Hugo is about 2 years old and is ready to have a home to call his own! This adorable ginger boy will be your best friend, greatest source of entertainment, and he will never judge you.

Pixie is a gorgeous gal with a great personality! Her shenanigans will keep you entertained, and her affection will keep you feeling loved! She loves to help clean by chasing brooms when you sweep. She loves to help put away the groceries by crawling into the bags and silently judging you as you do it wrong. But most importantly of all, she will help keep you warm all winter long! She is an amazing cuddler and cuddles with other kitties here!September 27, 2023, 8:41 pm
