Fall In Love This Weekend

Posted September 27th, 2012 by Jess | 0 Comments »

Kitty Harbor will only be open Saturday September 29th this weekend. We have 12 adorable kittens and 7 wonderful adults that are looking for loving, furever homes. 2 of those adults are declaws :( One is a handsome, young fluffy orange tabby boy who is super sweet and cuddly. The other is an older orange on white girl who would be an excellent companion kitty. Others are 3 calico/tortie girls, 10-12 mos, and a nice Maine Coon boy about 1 yr. Hope you can make it this Saturday — adoptions go from noon until 6pm. Again, remember that we are closed Sunday. Here are the latest photos for this weekend!
