Dorian Grey
Dorian Grey
Age: 2 years
Story: This beautiful boy came to us from HSSA for a second chance at a forever family. Unlike his name-sake, he grows prettier because he’s a sweet and gentle kitty—and any portraits of him won’t change that. He recently graduated to “Gen Pop”, and has been growing out of his shyer tendencies. If you are slow and gentle, and let him come to you, he can discuss fine art, delicious pate, and the general state of purrs these days. Come meet this pretty boy, and see if you don’t fall madly in love with him!
Fee: $80

Zaffre
Zaffre
Age: 1 year
Story: This dapper kitty came to us from a different shelter because we can provide a safe place for FeLV+ kitties. He’s still growing, and so is in the middle of the “teenaged lanky” stage. He hopes you don’t notice his “jacket” is a little short, as Zaffre is all dressed up and ready for a family! This pretty boy is a little shy, but has warmed up so much. He is a personable cat, very sweet, and generally curious about all the kitty things (like toys and treats). Ask us about FeLV, and come meet him. You won’t be sorry.
