Adoptable Cat of the Week: Casper's Green Eyes Beckon

This week's adoptable pet is Casper, a green-eyed beauty.

Casper, is a one-and a half-year-old neutered medium-haired brown tiger. He has been with Manatee County Animal Services since Jan 7 when he was found by residents on 52nd Avenue East. He is a calm and curious cat and is ready for a permanent home.

Visit Casper at the county's downtown adoption center or at the Palmetto adoption center for Animal Services this week. The downtown center is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Palmetto center is open on Saturdays.

February is a great month to adopt. Manatee County Animal Services is offering all dogs and cats for half price. Cats, normally priced at $60 will be available for $30. All adoptions  include spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check, current rabies certificate/tag and a microchip. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.
