Meet Gerald and Poppy — Meow Mobile Cats of the Week

Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Bonded siblings Gerald & Poppy are seeking their forever home together.

Gerald is a handsome tabby hunk, around a year old. His sister Poppy is a lovely, petite torbie, approximately 2 years old. The pair arrived February 17 via owner surrender through no fault of the cats (obviously). They are still settling in at the shelter and Gerald occasionally offers a soft growl in protection of Poppy, but they both melt for Churu treats and pets. Poppy is a bit on the skinny side, but she is eating well and gaining weight already. These sweet siblings are ready to go home with you – neutered/spayed, microchipped, vaccinated appropriate to age, and negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).
