Pet of the week

Franklin is an 7 to 8-year-old male cat.

This big guy is quite the character. He’s handsome, independent and curious. He loves to be near the action, but not in the middle of it. He tolerates other cats if they aren’t pushy; otherwise he’d prefer to be your one and only. Franklin also qualifies for the Golden Paws Program.

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-7 p.m. Tuesday, noon-5 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Closed Mondays. For more information, call 235-3141.
