Freddie Mercury and Lion L. Richie are hanging out at the shelter in Ontario operated by the Ontario Feral Cat Project.

CATS: These boys could be fun

Freddie Mercury and Lion L Richie are 10-month-old bonded brothers. They are both absolutely gorgeous kitties with so much personality. Their tails are total opposites, Freddie Mercury is a manx and doesn’t have a tail and Lion L Richie has the most magnificent fluffy tail.

Freddie is definitely the ringleader, full of mischief and fun. Lion L is a little more shy, but loves to get in his pets and cheer on his brother with his shenanigans. We have no doubt they will entertain their family 24 hours a day. They will bring so much joy and love to their loving forever home. They are bonded, so they will be seeking a forever home together. 

They are neuteredand tested negative for FeLV & FIV. They are indoor cats only for their safety. No declawing is allowed.

Come meet her on Saturday to see if you have found your newest family member.

SATURDAY ADOPTION EVENT: Every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Constance McCullough House, 84 N.W. 2nd St. in Ontario.
