Joanne is a spunky, lively three-year old. She rules the roost, confident and unflappable; she's a true alpha cat. Joanne must know what is going on in her home at all times— you will often find her perched up high checking that everyone, including the humans, are ok. She loves to snuggle and play with her foster family — and a little ear scratching will make her day. Check out her adorable extra toes and striking golden eyes. Joanne is good with other cats and dogs (4 of them are currently under her supervision). If you need some order in your household, Joanne might be just the gal to help out.
Joanne is spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations and has tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia

Margo is a super sweet petite 2-year old girl. Margo is an excellent and entertaining hunter making sure the house is completely bug free; jumping in mid-air to catch flies is one of her specialties. Margo is playful, gets along with all the other cats in the house and is friendly and lovable. She likes to sleep on the bed, loves to be petted and is sure to thank you with lots of purring. Margo has an unusual medium length tiger coat with some orange "highlights" and a beautiful black fluffy tail. Margo has had one litter of kittens and was a really great mom, but is now spayed (check out her cute babies Celia, Dodie and Benson) and looking forward to relaxing in her new furever home.

Margo is spayed, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia.
