It is National Adopt a Cat Month so for this month we will share some cats that need a home! This week we have a bonded pair with All Fur Love Rescue in Central NJ. Darryl & Damien are both roughly 1 year old and are both sweet and playful. Darryl has a beautiful long coat and Damien has a sleek short coat. Both are good with other cats and kids - not exposed to dogs. If you are ready for a bonded pair to love and entertain you with their antics, these boys are it.

You can also support kitties this weekend at the All Fur Love Cookout and Cocktails for Kitties event at Bar Anticipation in Belmar!
