Perch is 3 1/2-year-old female.

What can the shelter staff say about Perch? This gal is the coolest! She was shy at first but has since blossomed into the sassy girl that she is. She doesn’t like other cats so she needs to be your one and only, but trust she’s more than enough to love. She loves to talk to you and will hop on your lap for a good pet session, but then let you be when you need to get stuff done. She will make the perfect addition to your heart and home.

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.
