Adoptable Cat of the Week: Flower is a Family Cat

She's just one of the pets up for adoption at the county's downtown center.

This week's adoptable cat is Flower, a brown and white tiger.

Flower is a one-and-a-half year old spayed female who will snuggle with you. She has been with Manatee County Animal Services since Jan. 4 when she was picked up in the 5800 block of 12th Street W. You can visit Flower at the Manatee County Animal Services downtown adoption center this week. The downtown center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

If you adopt Flower this month the adoption fee is just $10 for all cats. All kittens are $40 and the shelter has plenty of kittens this month. Adoptions at Manatee County Animal Services 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.
