It's Caturday!

Meet El Tigre, a handsome long-haired orange kitty born around July 27, 2009. He is such a sweet boy, and does okay with other cats, but he does have some urinary tract issues. All that means is that he needs special food to help him stay healthy. He currently lives with a loving foster family where he's learning to be a great house cat and patiently waiting for his forever home.

Gretchen is a gorgeous short hair gray female tabby born around July 3, 2006. Currently she lives at the adoption center with lots of kitty roommates. She loves being petted and gets along great with other cats too. She enjoys taking long naps after chasing her toy mice. She's a very sweet kitty who's been patiently waiting for a new home and would make a great addition to yours. She also walks on a leash!
