Alfred, or “Big Al” as his foster calls him, is a portly lovebug of a kitten. His big eyes and half pink/half brown nose give him a permanent sweet, curious expression. Al likes to be held – sometimes longer than his foster mom has time for! Kisses on his lil’ head are a must. As far as kittens go, he’s a calmer, more gentle one. But he can throw down with his siblings! Alfred needs to be adopted with another kitten or go to a home with a cat he can play with. Apply today to meet Alfred (and maybe his siblings, too)!
For sweet Sheila, home is wherever she’s with you! Sheila is an affectionate 52 lb, 3 year old female Lab/Aussie mix who loves pets and being close to her people. This fuzzy cuddlebug is an absolute joy to have around the house and her fun, energetic personality brightens up every room! She’s very calm and collected, and will match your energy – she’s happy to play, but will curl up if you let her know it’s time to chill out. Sheila also loves walks and exploring new streets in her neighborhood. She’ll go for as long as you can last! Apply today for this sweetie pie!
