Are you stagnant or on the move?
      Last week was a week of uncertainty for us living along the Gulf Coast as we watched the track of Hurricane Ike as it spun across the Atlantic waters.

Opie and Bianca: Female spayed Orange tabby 5 yr and Male neutered 5 yr Himalayan mix
     Hey everyone: We are Bianca and Opie. We both were brought into the shelter in early 2004. We did not come in together but we soon fell in love.We were shelter pets for several years and enjoyed our time being pampered and loved by the staff. However, we are excited about finding a loving home to spend the rest of our years together. We are both altered, feline leukemia negative, and have never missed a meal!! We are very mellow cats, but since we have been spoiled we really just like to lounge around and relax. So we would prefer to find a home with adults only or older children. The way we see it, we should be the children of the house!!! We have been patiently waiting to find an inside only home who will take us together. So if that might be you, or you would like to come and visit with us, you can come see us at Santa Rosa County Animal Services. Sincerely, Bianca and Opie
