I’m still here. I’m still waiting for someone gentle and loving, who sees me not as just another black cat, but for who I am: a bright and shiny spirit, a mighty jungle cat, prowling the house at night and keeping you safe. Kippers for breakfast? Please?

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.
