Raelyn and Winona are available for adoption at the Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene.

Meet Raelyn & Winona! Both almost 2 years old, they’re black domestic shorthair mixes looking to be adopted out together. This bonded pair is shy at first, but very sweet once they’re comfortable. Winona loves a good treat, and Raelyn wants all the attention you can give! Come out and meet these two lovely kitties!

Raelyn and Winona previously lived with many other cats, and would likely do well with any new kitty siblings after a slow introductory period. They have also lived with a dog and might do well with another cat-savvy dog given time. Calm, cat-savvy kids would be best for these two. Please bring any kiddos to meet them and see if it’s a good fit. They are spayed and neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines prior to adoption.

Greenhill Humane Society is open seven days a week, 11 am – 6 pm at 88530 Green Hill Rd in Eugene. For more information call (541) 689.1503 or visit www.green-hill.org.

Meet Mr. Nod! He’s about 1.5 yrs old, he’s neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Mr. Nod likes a quiet, not-so-loud environment. He loves to sit next to you and make biscuits when getting pets.
