🐾 Pet of the Week! With Second Chance Animal Shelter. Powered by Alpena GMC 🐾
Brother & sister duo Wally & Marti found themselves in our care after being dumped at a local grocery store parking lot. They are approximately 9 weeks old and after being scared wondering what was going on, their playful personality is coming through. Thanks to a wonderful supporter, their adoption fee is partially sponsored and they come with age appropriate vaccinations, are litter box trained and come with a certificate for a free spay/neuter when they are old enough.

If you would like to meet this deserving pair of kitties, contact Second Chance through their page; email [email protected] or call (989)340-1700.
