Butters

Coco & Butters: Two Sweet Cats, One New Beginning

Meet Butters, an orange-and-white cat with a playful, energetic personality and a mischievous streak. He shares his home with Coco, a laid-back black cat, and we would ideally love to find a home where they can stay together.

Our dog, who has been with us for five years, recently became reactive toward the cats. We are looking for a new home for their safety and can keep them until they are adopted.
