Featured Kitty

Tiger

Spike and Tiger were abandoned outside a building. Thank goodness they were found before something awful happened to them! These boys are still a little scared because they do not understand what happened to them. It is apparent they had a home but their family could no longer care for them. Sadly this is happening often to animals in today’s economy.

Well, we promised Spike and Tiger that we would find them a new home and they would never find themselves in this situation again!

Spike is still a little shy right now but when you pet him he makes biscuits. That means there is a very loving boy inside and in time his true self will emerge! He is also very handsome!!

Tiger likes to growl but he means no harm, and the whole time he rubs all over you and licks your arm and will also purr. So we think that is just the way he communicates! It is kinda cute!

Once these boys start to realize they are now safe with us and that we love them, they will be just fine! Check back for updates as they progress.

Update: These wonderful boys have come so far since coming to the shelter! Tiger no longer growls at us and alls he wants to do is sit in our lap! He is so loving and sweet it is hard not to fall in love with him. Spike is also a big sweetie and he will sit and give little “mews”. That is his way of asking for attention. He loves for us to pet him. These guys truly love each other and we will often see them cuddled up together and giving each other kisses. It is so cute! They are seeking a new home together and anyone would be very lucky to have them join their family!
