Moonlight

This is a must-see cat — his American longhair coat is magnificent. Jet-black and warm, brown fluffy fur combine in a stunning array, forming a mane and other features. While Moonlight is listed as an American longhair mix, he strongly resembles the York chocolates, a relatively new breed of cat. This breed was recognized in 1990 as an experimental by American Cat Fanciers Association. But Moonlight is not just a handsome face: he’s a warm and loving medium-large cat, who’s very much in need of adoption or rescue. When given the love, warmth and stability of a good forever home, 8-month-old Moonlight will blossom into a devoted friend, pet and companion. For more www.facebook.com/EncShelterCats/. Moonlight’s ID is No. 0094. Come in for a visit and see this remarkable cat; he’s available at the shelter.

 

Max                                                                      

Max anxiously waits for a treat to drop into his mouth and his good forever home. This approximately 2-year-old, large, American pit bull-terrier mix is already neutered and ready to go to his good forever home after his reduced fee is paid. Max is a loveable and active boy who needs owner(s) willing to give him love, attention, care, regular exercise in a fenced area or on a leash and obedience training. In return, he will be a faithful companion, pet and friend. For more information, visit  www.facebook.com/EncShelterDogs. Max’s ID is No. 0108. Come spend a little time with handsome Max; he is available at the shelter.
