Creature Corner: Feb. 28, 2013

The diva, Miss Jezabelle purrs, “If you are a lover of the feline crowd, you simply have to walk through the ARF cattery door and you’re in cat heaven. You will either stay here forever, or you will not be able to resist gathering a couple of these fur babies into your arms forever.” For the month of March, cats are two for one. And many already know who they would like to be adopted with.

Like Carly and Sadie, twin sisters that absolutely love each other. They are close to a year old and can often be found enclosed in each others arms in the cat tree. Sadie is a bit more adventurous and playful, but always tries to entice Carly out.

Furball Bill and Johnny were part of the five cats abandoned on the ARF porch. Both are young, friendly and playful. Bill is an orange tabby and Johnny has Manx markings.

Tommy

Meow Meow and Heidi have been litter mates and friends forever. They tragically lost their human, and together they have forgotten the past. Moving on, they would love to stay together, in your arms.

Clarence, the Siamese mix, Mr. Grey, and Tommy are open to suggestion. Clarence is the room greeter, Mr. Grey is inquisitive, but at a distance, and Tommy is all about talking it over.

Lachi is a 2-year-old female that is quite shy at first. And our last surprise on the ARF porch was Sunkist, Sunny for short. She is soon to have kittens, just in time for spring!

Mr. Grey
