Want a total melt-in-your-lap, paws-around-your-neck, snuggle bug of a cat?  Bruiser is the boy for you. Bear hugs are no extra charge. This boy is a gentle, loving spirit. Very low maintenance and easily pleased — just don’t forget that daily wet food treat, so important for a healthy, happy cat.

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.
