Our featured “kitties of the week” this week are Wynona and Win Win, two beautiful white/tabby mix sisters. As they are a bonded pair, we are truly trying to keep them together for the rest of their lives and looking for a home that would accommodate both sweet girls! The girls are now a year old, have been spayed, up to date on vaccinations, including rabies, and get along very well with other kitties, but they love each other immensely and would be sad if separated. Their markings are absolutely beautiful, but their personalities are what you will fall in love with.
