Please Adopt Us

This week the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard is featuring two beautiful calico cats — Cupid and Butter. Both came from the same home and are probably sisters. They are about three years old and look very much alike. Both have recently been spayed and are very friendly around children and good around dogs. They are really wonderful house cats and love attention. They do not have to be adopted together, but would be great company for each other. Won’t you please stop by and see these two sweet cats?
