What is better than one big cat? Two! If you are looking for a big, bonded pair, meet these two sweethearts! Tarzan (brown tiger) and Jane (grey tiger) were brought to us when their owner unfortunately passed away. They are both 4 years old and very bonded with one another. They love attention, meal time and each other most of all! They are good with other cats, kids and dogs. These two big kitties will make a wonderful addition for any home. They are spayed and neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested in Tarzan and Jane please apply today! Visit them at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
