Today we have 3-month-year-old sisters Sylvia and Lila! These two ladies are very playful together and love one another very much so must go home together.
Sylvia is the shy one of the two who has a little bit more white on her face especially that goes up The bridge of her nose. It takes her a little bit longer to warm up to humans but she’s making friends one by one and needs a family that will continue working with her as we have been here at the shelter.
Like a lot of our cats recently, they came to us from an animal control partner who was swamped with kittens. These two kittens are the last from that group and we’re hoping will find a home by this weekend. If you have space in your home for these two lovely kittens please apply online!
The Westport Branch is completing adoptions by appointment only in order to best serve the pets in care and the community. Applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received. CHS looks forward to helping you find your best match. The online adoption application is available at CThumane.org/AdoptionApp
