Ginny & Malibu Domestic Short Hair Warwick, RI

Hello, furiends! Scruffy Paws is very happy to announce that Ginny and Malibu are available for adoption! Ginny and Malibu came to Scruffy from a horrible hoarding and inbreeding situation. They arrived in need of dental work and awful upper respiratory infections. You may have seen their buddy, Wallace - perpeptual head tilt kitty - also available for adoption. Ginny (orange and white) is 3 years and 2 months young, while Malibu (calico) is 4 years and 9 months young. Both are extremely friendly and sweet; Ginny is a bit shy at first but warms up quickly. They love attention and welcome any and all pets and chin scratches. They have small frames due to inbreeding. If you have other cats in your home - purrfect! Ginny and Malibu enjoy being in the company of other feline friends. Still, we are unsure how they would be in a home with dogs, other animals, or young children. We would love for them to be adopted together...or with Wallace!...but it is not a requirement. The adoption fee for Ginny is $175, and Malibu's fee is $150.

On a completely biased personal note...I have adopted one of the cats rescued from this hoarding situation. He is 4 lbs and a silly, happy, healthy, smart, lovely little furball who likes to cuddle and consistently invade your personal space. And it's awesome. Having come from a situation of living with so many cats, I know he appreciates having other cats in the home to play with!

Thank you for being so interested in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If you see this post, we still accept applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). Please refrain from emailing us regarding availability.
