Foster home needed for neutered male cat
Of
the cats that SARO members are fostering, a two are in need of an
alternative foster home. They are both neutered male tuxedo cats. They
are very friendly and loving toward people, but the prefer to live
without other cats. So, we are looking for preferably two separate
foster homes to take these boys in. Because adoption rates are so slow
at this time, especially for adult cats, we would prefer the foster home
be able to care for them for at least three months so they can settle
down until adoption rate pick up again in the fall.  Food and supplies can be supplied if needed. Email alcoon (at)
syr.edu if you are able to help one of these boys.  You can view Dom’s
