It’s elementary, my dear Watson. Young Mr. Holmes just needs …  well, a home. This handsome young smoky gray cat is inquisitive, precocious, and yes, loving and playful, too. He’s the perfect companion for the whole family. 

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the city’s Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 235-3141.
