ATTENTION: Please keep a lookout for these two cats. They were last seen in the grimes area. If you or anyone you know has seen, heard about, or picked up these cats please reach out to the owner Joni or to the ARL or Grimes feline finders as they are aware of the situation and are also searching and keeping ears out. If you see and/or hear what could possibly be both or one of these cats please reach out. We are asking for help from the community and we thank you for it.
