CATS: A Christmas Eve delivery…
Sophie and Boo Boo are seeking a forever family together.
They were “surrendered” in a carrier with a note together on Christmas Eve. Their mom could no longer care for them due to her health issues. Our hearts go out to her.
All that matters now is that they are safe and being well taken care of. Sophie settled right in, Boo Boo is still struggling, but he LOVES to be pet and his sister comforts him. They love each other very much.
Sophie is a very petite 7 1/2 years old female and is spayed, She had an extensive dental problem and all but four of her teeth were extracted after she came to us.
Boo Boo is a super sized 3 1/2 year old neutered male.
They both tested negative for FeLV & FIV and are indoor cats only for their safety. No declawing is allowed.
Come meet this pair 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.
