CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) — CATsNAP’s Alison Dupre brought cat-brothers to the studio this week and they were SO SOFT and purred like motors!

Duane Shannon spent time talking about events coming up at CATsNAP, with a reminder that with upcoming warmer weather, there will be an overabundance of kittens arriving in the community.
