Meet Otis: Otis is a ladies’ man. He’s 3 years old, up to date on preventive care and vaccines, and HW-negative. Otis came to the shelter 7 weeks ago after being hit by a car; he’s recovered fully now and has been neutered and microchipped. He’s large – around 80 lbs – and energetic, but he’s also affectionate (and very good in the car!).

Meet Ice King: Ice King is an orange, male domestic long-haired cat. He’s about 2 years old and has been in the shelter for 5 weeks. He’s up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives and has been neutered and microchipped. Ice King had to be shaved upon intake because of all of the mats he had, but he’s still a handsome fella (and he’s also a ladies’ man!).
