Story
Say hello to Mary-Kate and Ashley! These sweet girls were abandoned around Christmas, and we took them in to get them out of the cold. We took them to the vet- they are healthy, spayed, and vaccinated. They are 4-5 years old. They have been through a lot together and are very close. That is why they are listed together- we do not want them separated. They are very calm and loving cats. They are very affect to each other and people. They love attention and are social. Thanks for considering these two. Because we have other rescues, they are staying in our garage. They deserve a home where they can get more attention and love.

Story
Maggie is a sweet little girl with no tail with cerebellar hypoplasia, or wobbler cats syndrome.  Wobbler cats are healthy cats, they just walk a bit funny.  Mag's is actually a mild case of the disease and we like to joke that someone just spiked her water bowl!  She's an incredibly affectionate cat who's only real need in life is a lap to make biscuits on <3 April 7, 2025, 3:27 pm
