Parsley and Curry are ready for a new home but for now they live at the Ontario Feral Cat Project shelter in Ontario. (Submitted photo)

CATS: Two girls, two to cuddle with

Parsley and Curry are bonded 6-monthold sisters. They are a little shy at first, but they absolutely LOVE toys and enjoy getting pets…on their terms.\

They are such adorable girls and just need a patient family, willing to let them come around on their terms. 

They are neutered, UTD on vaccinations and tested negative for FeLV & FIV.

These girls are indoor cats only for their safety. No declawing is allowed.

Come meet the girls 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.
