Sweet Sibling Cats Need Good Home
Two brother and sister cats need a good home, preferably together. Could this be your home?
Their caretaker and human companion passed away last week so they are in need of a new, permanent home. My good friend is taking care of them until one can be found. They are seven years and four months old and have always lived together. They are a mature male and female who have been spayed and neutered. On Monday they went to the vet and are now up-to-date on their shots. Health records available.
Call Trina at 612-987-7144 for more information and she'll call you back.
