| MOODY NEEDS A HOME
(COASTAL PET RESCUE) Meet Moody. This little cutie was found abandoned along with her sister, Blue. Both kittens are very playful and have a roaring good time romping around the house together. They love to play hide-and-stalk in their crate or a basket. Once they settle down, they’ll cuddle up on you with each other. It doesn’t take much to get them purring either. Moody and Blue also love attention and run to greet you when you enter the room. It would be great to see these siblings go to a home together or have another kitten to play with. If you’re looking to add a couple of cute, comical, and cuddly kittens to your life, don’t wait to submit an application to meet Blue and Moody before someone else takes them home.
