Barney, Bettie, Chester

Image
Barney Bettie Chester These three babies -- Barney , Bettie , and Chester -- were found in a colony of feral (undomesticated) cats and trying to survive on their own.    Thanks to exceptional foster parents, all three are thriving, their light-hearted natures emerging, and bonding well with people and other cats.    They are spayed/neutered, 3 months of age, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA . Barney follows you around the house and plays with shoelaces. Bettie bats her toys around the room, watches them bounce off the walls, then pounces on them. Chester purrs the moment you pick him up for cuddles.
