Randal is a lovely 7 yr old
kitty who came into our
shelter when he was 2
months old. Randal is a
quiet boy who likes affec-
tion and loves treats. He is
sight impaired in one eye.
He would do best in a calm
house with no dogs or small
children because of his vi-
sion. Come visit this sweet boy at the shelter today.
Chyna & Chit Chat
Pictured left to right
are two sisters,
Chyna and Chit-
chat. They are not
a bonded pair and
could be adopted
separately. Chyna
is a little more social
with people than her sister and both would love a calm
home. They are also great with other kitties. These
amazing girls are 4 1/2 years old and were brought
into the shelter when they were kittens.
