Meet our September Cats of the Month: Chai & Suki! 🧡🧡
These two beautiful bonded Senior Kitizens came to HART recently because their purr-son passed away. Chai is 14 and Suki is 15, but they both still have a lot of love to give and life to live. Both of them are healthy for their age, and do not have special needs or take medication. They have been together for their whole lives, and we would love to find a home for them together.
Chai is a sweet & affectionate Seal-Point Siamese. He loves to be petted and will look at you with pure love in his gorgeous blue eyes when you are giving him affection. His kitten side comes out when he sees a feather wand toy! To learn more about Chai, visit: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/35383928-cambria-california-cat
Suki is a beautiful Siamese Lynx Point mix. She was really nervous about the sudden change in her life, and was slow to warm up. Now she's making up for lost time, and demanding attention with big purrs and head bumps! She loves treats, and wants nothing more than to be your very best friend. To learn more about Suki, visit: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/35383931-cambria-california-cat
If you are 62 or older, their adoption fees are FREE with HART's Seniors for Seniors Program.
Come meet this beautiful bonded pair at HART, Tuesday - Saturday, 12-5, or call (805) 927-7377.
