Millicent is a beautiful gray sweetheart. She's a pretty calm and cool cat. She doesn't mind other cats too much, just wants to hang out and see what's going on. She loves sprawling out for pets and wants all the cheek rubs. She would do great in a calm environment.

Bubba ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time because he's sad he doesn't have a home, so you'll often hear him singing the blues. At 5 years old, he's put his wild years behind him and just wants to relax in the sun. Bubba will need a home with no children but would be great in a family band.
