Adoptable Cat of the Week: Jack Needs a Home

This week's adoptable cat is Jack, a black domestic short-hair.

Jack, who is about five years old, was surrendered by his owner on July 29 because of a move. Jack has neurological problems which leave him with a clumsy walk. His front feet have also been declawed, so he needs a home where he can stay indoors.

Jack is a sweet cat who likes nothing more than a comfortable lap. He does not like dogs however.

Animal services is offering buy one get one free adoption specials for dogs and cats in the month of August. Feel free to mix and match. Regular adoption fees, which include spay or neutering, shots, physicals and a chip, are $80 for dogs and $60 for cats. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.
