Simon

Our American-shorthair swirl tabby wears his striking patters of butterscotch, tan, cream and bold ebony swirls to perfection. Add his huge amber eyes, and you have one handsome, swirl tabby boy. Simon is an alert, 6-month-old juvenile cat with a sweet, affectionate and playful personality. He wants and needs love, attention and playtime in a good forever home. In return, he will show unconditional love, friendship and companionability. Come in and get acquainted with Simon; he’s available through next Saturday.

For more on this great lad, check out www.facebook.com/ENC Shelter Cats. Simon’s ID#0426. Siblings also at the shelter and looking remarkably alike are: Alvin, Theodor and Jessica.

 

Copper

This adorable, approximately 6-month-old, medium-size hound-mix is a sweet, friendly and fun fellow. He loves people, getting attention from them and treats. When Copper was tested with other dogs, he was exuberant! Copper needs owner(s) willing to give him their time, attention, love, exercise in a fenced area or on a leash, basic obedience training and a good, loving forever home. Come in and meet this great pup. For more on him, visit www.facebook.com/ENC Shelter Dogs. Copper’s ID#0451.

Copper’s available through the following Saturday at the shelter.
