Adoptable Cat of the Week: Claire is a Sweet Girl

She's just one of the animals available for adoption at the downtown adoption center.

This week's adoptable kitten is Claire, a short-hair domestic kitten.

The eight month old kitten is cute and curious and just a little shy. She has been with Manatee County Animal Services since March 9 when they were found in the 3900 block of 16th Avenue West. You can visit Claire at the county's downtown adoption center this week. The downtown center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Manatee County Animal Services is offering a $25 adoption special on all cats through April. Adoptions include spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check, microchip and current rabies certificate/tag. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.
