Vinetta is a female cate who is approximately 5-years-old with short, gray hair. She has been in the shelter for nearly five months and would prefer a mellow home where she can play and relax. Vinetta belongs to Project Purrfect, which means she has been at the shelter longer than 30 days and is available at a $50 discount.
Stray is a small to medium terrier mix and is 2-years-old. Straye is energetic and affectionate and would prefer to live in a cat-free home. He will do well in an apartment, condo or house and he gets along with people of all ages.
