Lovely Ayla sits waiting by the window for that special someone to walk in, fall in love and take her home. This 6-year-old, long-haired calico likes to be brushed and petted. Ayla is good with other cats, and would make any home happier and brighter.

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.
