Paws to Claws

Standard
Paws To Claws From California To Kansas

These are my two adorable kitties, Diesel Gambrinus (black and white) and Riley Moonshine (gray and fluffy). I adopted them in September when they were about two and a half months old. They are my spoiled little babies and I love them! They also have totally different personalities… Diesel is smarter and more cautious. Riley is not the sharpest tool in the shed but she’s a sweetie. Enjoy!
