Please Adopt Us We have a number of adoptions to report. Petey, the older Jack Russell/dachshund cross has found his forever home. Two older female black cats, Suzie and Shadow, have also gotten new families. We’re also happy to say that Fred the guinea pig and Ophelia the hamster have been fallen in love with and now have families to dote on them as well. Who wants a snuggle buddy? Our featured pet is Vinny, a two-year old, white and tabby neutered male cat. Vinny is one affectionate boy: he’s a lap cat who loves to be held, purrs and purrs, and just wants to snuggle.
