Marmalade

At approximately 6 months old, Marmalade, an American, medium-hair kitten, is handsome with his coat of pale apricot, big eyes and bobtail. Marmalade loves to be cuddled, held and loved. He will be a wonderful and welcome addition in a good, loving forever home. For more about Marmalade, ID No. 1681, see Facebook’s ENC Shelter Cats page and come visit him — you’ll be glad you did. He is available at the shelter.

 

Marcie

At approximately 6 years old, Marcie, a large, chocolate and tan, American pit bull terrier mix is a good-looking, friendly, sweet girl. She will do best with a loving, attentive and active family who will spend time with her, include her in their activities, give her plenty of regular exercise and play in a fenced area or on a leash, obedience training (she appears to have had some) and, of course, a good forever home. Marcie, ID No. 1667, would love to have you visit. She’s available at the shelter.
