Talk about a guy who is really buff!? Well actually, this stunning kitty is actually buff. (Colored.) And what a drop-dead gorgeous boy he is! Meet Auggie, The River and Furkids Cat of the Week.
This tawny, hunk-of-a-cat is a young-un, just about ten months old. Auggie has not only a knockout appearance but a standout personality, as well. He is calm and a bit shy. But like his soothing, wonderful coloring, he warms up very quickly. And he’s such a sweetie! He loves a petting and a chin scratch. And oh, does he enjoy his yummy Churu squeeze treats!
Auggie is easy on the eyes (an understatement!) and easy to live with, too. He is good with kids and other kitties too. He has been neutered
microchipped and is up to date on all his preventatives and vaccinations.
Make an appointment with Furkids to meet this ridiculously handsome lad. Auggie would make a beautiful addition (quite literally!) to your heart and home.

If you’re seeking a loyal, funny companion who’s just bursting with joy, here’s one for the money: Meet Kash, The River and Furkids Dog of the Week!
You can put your moola on this guy because he is just as balanced and happy as can be. Kash is a 63-pound Doberman/Hound mix who just loves the world and humans of every size. That means he’s very good with kids—very patient and (legally) tender.
Cutie-pie Kash not only has the loot, he’s a hoot! He’s got a real knack for comedy with his silly, playful antics. Laughter abounds when he bounds in the room. Kash is a real crowd-pleaser and he does love to please. He’s eager and quick to learn and always trying his best to be the bestest boy.
Kash is a real guy of gold and he comes complete with all the right currency: He’s been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on all vaccinations and preventatives.
For a good laugh, make an appointment with Furkids and spend some time with this funny, entertaining, gem of a pup. Bring Kash home and you’ll truly have a life of riches.

I missed enjoying the snow last time, so had to get out today to feel it! This is the courtyard at work and, for those of you long-time Georgians, those are the original “white columns” behind me from the old WSB TV building that used to be on this spot years ago! ❤️
