Pet of the Week

Eva and her irresistible moustache are ready to go to a happy home. She is a sweet little girl; a bouncy 8-week-old with short black hair and white markings. She’s bold, playful, affectionate and completely adorable — as a kitten should be. The shelter has many more kittens up for adoption, as well as adult cats, some of which could be barn cats. The adoption fee for felines is $30, which covers spaying or neutering, first vaccination shot, and a free health exam at the local vet. The shelter is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is closed every other Friday for intensive cleaning. This week, the shelter will be open Friday. The shelter is in desperate need of Iams or Purina kitten food, cat litter, and Pedigree or Purina dog food. They also need cleaning supplies: bleach, disinfecting wipes such as Lysol, and dish soap. As always, the shelter appreciates all the donations that the community brings in; every little bit helps. For more information, call the shelter at 565-4910.
