Oregon is a six month old black and white male kitten that the St. Augustine Humane Society trapped in July along with her mother and brother. The owner of the mama cat wanted to keep mama cat but did not want to keep the kittens. Mama cat was called Calli, so we named the two kittens Arizona and Oregon, and we affectionately refer to them as the “State Cats.” We spayed and neutered Calli, Arizona, and Oregon. Mama cat was returned (TNR). Thanks in part to River City Live, Arizona was recently placed in a forever home. We are now hoping to placed Oregon with a forever family. Oregon loves high places and has acclimated to being a domesticated, home kitten. She has been spayed and has all her shots. She is ready to start the new year off in her new forever home. www.staughumane.org

There’s no better way for Flagler County Fire Rescue to embrace the holidays than with a pint-sized, er Taco-sized, therapy dog!

Meet Arizona, one of the sweetest, inquisitive little guys you will ever meet. Arizona is a 4-month old, male kitten. He has been neutered and has received all his kitten vaccinations. He loves high places and climbs anything, including anyone that picks him up. He is a curious little guy and makes friends with other kittens and humans quickly. He has not spent much time around dogs but we imagine he would make friends with a dog in no time because he is generally fearless.
