Hi, I’m Merlin the Magician. No, really. Want to see me make that piece of tuna disappear? I am a 4-year-old gray-and-white cat, a little bit shy but very loving when I get to know you. Come on in and let me work my spell.  

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.
