Bronx is a 3-year-old male domestic shorthair who came to the shelter as a stray. He is sweet and loves attention but keeps to himself with the other cats.

Munson is a 6-month-old pittie. He absolutely loves toys, even more than he loves treats. As soon as his big ears hear a squeaker, they perk up and flop around as he tries to catch it.
