You know how people comfort you by saying “there’s a lot of fish in the sea” when you mourn the loss of The One That Got Away? There are a lot of fish—erm, cats—at Second Chance Pet Adoptions… but you don’t want to let Grouper and Porpoise get away! This bonded pair of 3-year-old gray-and-white beauties came to us from a county shelter a few weeks ago and now they’re ready to dive into life in a forever home! You shore will love chatting with and cuddling this outgoing brother/sister duo. Grouper and Porpoise make waves when they get to playing together and we know they’ll enjoy sunbathing in a window beam, too. If we’ve enticed you to take the bait, come and sea them at our adoption center or find them on the net at www.SecondChanceNC.org.
