Story
Looking for some serious love? These bonded brothers, Otis and Jerry Lee, are overflowing with it and ready to give it all to a loving home. They're healthy, cuddly, and just plain adorable! They love to play, nap, and of course, eat! I've had them since they were born (May 7th, 2024), and they've been socialized with other cats and kids of all ages. They're litterbox pros, too! I've recently had to move to a smaller apartment due to becoming disabled. The landlord is cool with my two female cats, but not the boys. He's been super kind and let me keep them until I can find them the perfect forever home. Could you be the one to give these sweet boys the love they deserve?

Story
Pratt is an adult neutered male Black DSH. Are you the one that will be willing to open your heart and home to a special needs mini panther?  Please consider this easy-going guy.  His mellow nature makes him an ideal companion for someone looking for a 'lap cat.' He can live with dogs and other cats (with proper intros) which makes him a versatile addition to many households. Because he 'bumps into things,' he simply needs a consistent home layout—a small accommodation for a lifetime of love. Visually impaired cats like Pratt rely heavily on their senses of hearing, touch, and smell to build a mental map of their surroundings. He would do best in a home without young children. He will be having a dental 12/26 and is in foster care, please email us to arrange a meeting with Pratt.   Here is the adoption process:   To adopt an animal you must complete an application and be approved. There is a $100 fee for any county animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS.
