WAITING FOR YOUR COMPLIMENTS….

Dexter is a very handsome ginger tabby. There is just something extra special about ginger kitties. if you aren’t owned by a ginger kitty, you are missing out.

Dexter, a bit over 2 years old, is a very sweet guy that loves his food, attention and being told how handsome he is.

All of our kitties go home with a “going home gift” of a litter box, food & water dish, toy and a kitty blanket, all of these items have been generously donated.

He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for FeLV & FIV.

He is an indoor cat only for his safety. No declawing is allowed.

Adoption event: Every Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. or by appointment at the Constance McCullough House, 84 N.W. 2nd St., Ontario. 

OFCP is also in need of volunteers. Do you have a couple of hours a week to help the kitties?

We also desperately need foster homes.. OFCP provides everything you need. You provide a safe place for them to hang out with lots of love until they are big enough to spay/neuter so they can find their loving forever families. Volunteering and fostering are very rewarding and you are changing the lives of these cats.
