Adopt a Furry Friend: Cosima and Zander ... and Enjoy Live Music from Alex Guthrie

WRIC-8 NEWS, RICHMOND — The kittens, both spayed females, are two-months-old. Cosima is black with a white patch, and Zander is a tabby. 

Tabitha Treloar with the Richmond SPCA says that black kittens have a tendency to stay longer at the adoption center. Treloar added that many of their fosters say that among the litter of kittens, the black ones are usually the most friendly and affectionate. 

Treloar also says that this Sunday, musician Alex Guthrie will give a free performance at the Richmond SPCA. Sweet Frog Mobile will be on site at 11:30 a.m. and music begins at noon.
